Talk:Censorship in Brazil

Self-censorship is self-contradictory as statement.
The article mentions Globo and Record censored "their own work". It doesn't make sense, saying some institution censors its own voice. If you freely decide not to say something you were not censored.

I think the whole "Self-censorship" section should be removed, as it's a contradiction in its own name.

I took the freedom of removing an obvious troll. "The lack of internet censorship" As a brazilian i found it offending since he stated that we shouldn't be allowed to access it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.1.59.224 (talk) 18:37, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Prohibition of anonymity
The citation given does not state the prohibition of anonymity is only for journalists. As far as I understand it, even internet anonymity is prohibited, although I haven't seen this enforced. Considering public opinion of internet freedom of speech and the blogs bluring the line between journalists and non-journalists, I find this important. Even being a brazilian, I am not a lawyer, so I don't really know, if any of you have any lawyer info that anonyymity is only prohibited for journalists, yay! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.123.138.55 (talk) 03:05, 29 November 2012 (UTC)


 * There is nothing specific about journalists' anonimity on the Constitution, or a specific law regarding journalists on this kind of behavior and intent, since the law we had before was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court (i forgot in what year, sorry). Article 5, IV, says you can freely express your thoughts as long as your not anonimous. The purpose of it is so people can be held accountable by civil or penal court on their speech. This applies for both outside of virtual, as on the internet. This is why ISPs have to store the IP data for a certain amount of time. Also not a laywer, but have studied it and work closely with legislation. 179.235.198.79 (talk) 21:14, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Marcos Cintra
I don't think Marcos Cintra was a congressman when the twitter ban was applied. But he was one before. I don't know if this was what the author meant, but if it was, i believe it should be stated more clearly. 179.235.198.79 (talk) 21:20, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
