   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

         Meta is not the Internet. It is a company.

            it's a part of internet. To properly block it, you need to block it on the IP level

               "Properly" is not that important. First, most people are both lazy and also non-technical. Second, ban business relations with them suddenly they get no ad revenue, ban schools and governments from using them as well as businesses and people have to connect with everyone besides friends by non-Facebook means (or non-Meta depending on details).
