   I hope Lula wins and they will ban Facebook for good after the elections. This is an attack on Brazil’s sovereignty.

      nothing good usually comes out of governments censoring internet

         Private companies are censoring the internet right now to interfere with democracy.

         This ideological fear of democratic structures ignores the very real threat of autocratic, privately owned structures consolidating more and more power.

         The only viable counterweight to corporate power is public power.
