    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

        Facebook is not the internet.

          Didn't t Brazil also ban discord screen sharing and camera?

          I often use Study Together which is a large discord server (50k users online) for folks to work and study in groups/body doubles, but someone told me a lot of Brazilians have to use VPN to circumvent the ban.

            That doesn&#x27;t sound like studying.

              To you, perhaps. But it works for the thousands that use it to study and work.
