COVID-19 Censorship - Bolsonaro Edition

Jair Bolsonaro is the president of Brazil.  Roughly 58 million Brazilians voted for him.  Brazil is one of the largest countries in the world, and has a long, rich history.

With all of that said, Mr. Bolsonaro did something you're never allowed to do.  He agreed with Pres. Trump.  We all know that simply isn't done.

Here's how Facebook and Twitter ran cover for their censorship:

"Twitter Inc., Facebook Inc. and Google’s YouTube have all removed posts shared by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for including coronavirus misinformation that violates the social media companies’ rules against posting harmful content.

Facebook said it took down a video on Monday that had been shared to both Facebook and Instagram, in which Bolsonaro said the anti-malaria prescription drug hydroxychloroquine was an effective treatment for Covid-19. Twitter earlier had removed two tweets that also showed video of Bolsonaro praising hydroxychloroquine and encouraging the end of social distancing. On Tuesday morning, YouTube also said it had pulled two videos from Bolsonaro’s official account for violating its policies.
"

Did you realize that Twitter and Facebook are the authorities on COVID-19?  They are the Gatekeepers who give you only the information on The Novel Coronavirus you need to have.  They know better than you do.  They are the scientists.  They are the Authority.  You know who else they know better than?  Jair Bolsonaro and Donald Trump.  We all know why the Corporate Media and Big Social did this.  They don't like the Bolsonaros or Trumps of the world.  It has nothing to do with science or misinformation.

Luckily for us, the toothpaste is out of the tube, and these cloddish attempts at censorship will fail.  This article is proof: I had no idea about Bolsonaro's position until I saw that he'd been censored. Then I was compelled to look it up.

Now I know what he posted.  Good for him.  I like him even more now.

I wonder why the Power Elite want to control the kind of information you get.  Is there something wrong with you?  It's almost as if they don't trust you.
