@ChrisCWright1 PCO is a small Communist party in Brazil, as I noted, and its free speech position is notable only because it's so rare on the Brazilian left, where it's shared by almost nobody else. — PolitiTweet.org

@davysales Muitas mais pessoas do que apenas Monark estão sendo censurados pelo Google no Brasil como aplausos da esquerda. Abraço. — PolitiTweet.org

@davysales PCO são partidários fanáticos de Lula. Eles atacaram David repetidamente por seu crime de não apoiar Lula. E não "defendi" nada - apenas notei para o público internacional uma das poucas vozes no Brasil contra a censura. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In Brazil, a small Communist Party -- @PCO29 -- has become one of the most steadfast and principled in defense of free speech and against the overwhelmingly mainstream censorship consensus. In Canada, the Communist Party denounced Trudeau's Emergencies Act. Just noting this: — PolitiTweet.org

@tri26 She was in her 40s when that happen. She also reached the finals of women's doubles at the US Open at age 43. Renee Richards herself said that had she been younger, she would have won easily and that it was a mistake to have tried. — PolitiTweet.org

@sonofavondruk I was just commenting on when it will be elevated to major international debate. I wasn't saying it's not an important issue now. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PentaTronic Yes, it's shocking and mystifying that when someone has 1.7 million followers that one didn't choose, and one is on an open platform where literally anyone with an internet connection can respond, there will be some odd replies. Probably deserves an FBI investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

@TomBevanRCP Yeah, I'm definitely not saying it's irrelevant now, only that it will only be elevated into a major story when it gets to that level. — PolitiTweet.org

The true test for whether this becomes a problem or is ratified is when it starts happening at the professional level, where huge money and other life awards are at stake: where, say, the world 650 in men's tennis competes 2 years later on the women's tour and wins Wimbledon: — PolitiTweet.org

Instructing journalists to keep away from the police and threatening them with arrest if they don't. Given that the target of the police in this case have the Wrong Ideology, many journalists will be not angry but grateful. — PolitiTweet.org

@lozzeebear I know and have spoken with many people who have worked with the ACLU for years who say that the group has radically, even fundamentally, changed its mission and core character for political ends, including some of its key leaders over the years. You may want to consider that. — PolitiTweet.org

@serbretas Your tweet has a huge amount of hysteria in it and not an ounce of science. I'm sorry you don't believe in democracy but Virginia just had an election and voted for the Governor who vowed to eliminate mask mandates for small children, which are causing great harm. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The ACLU of Virginia is suing the state in an attempt to deny parents the choice to decide whether their children will or won't wear masks in schools. They want the state to mandate this decision for all parents rather than allowing parents the option to choose. https://t.co/9MObSrGd89 — PolitiTweet.org

@Thiiago_Santtos Eu moro no Brasil ha 17 anos. Meu marido e filhos são brasileiros. Pago impostos ao governo brasileiro. Tenho o direito de criticar como qualquer outra. E ninguém da esquerda me disse isso durante o impeachment de Dilma ou VazaJato. Nenhum país é perfeito, incluindo o Brasil. — PolitiTweet.org

@eudeinis Eu realmente não entendo onde as pessoas começaram a acreditar que essa teoria da liberdade de expressão é apenas uma ideia americana, mas é absolutamente falsa, como acabei de explicar. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@HomemPovo O problema para mim é quem deve exercer esse poder, e o perigo muito alto de que quem o exerce abuse dele para fins fascistas ou tirânicos. Em todo caso, deve-se possível debatê-lo sem ser acusado de ser nazista ou simpatizante do nazismo, mas isso não foi o caso neste mês aqui. — PolitiTweet.org

@felipemenegotto @AndreTJ815 To fazendo uma entrevista/debate com Brasil 24/7 sobre isso mas sem duvida faria uma discussão com ele tb se ele queira. Sempre to disposto conversar com qualquer critica *honesta*. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For those asking in English, I discussed the major free speech controversy that erupted in Brazil a few weeks ago in which I had some involvement on the Callin podcast I co-host with @qaomene. It's an interesting conflict. Those interested can listen here https://t.co/LwfRcTZtQ1 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

E uma última vez: a liberdade de expressão que defendo *não* é só um valor americano (muitos nos EUA a rejeitam e há muito defendem a censura). Vem do esquerdismo internacional e da tradição intelectual judaica, tornando ainda mais repelente ser chamado de nazista por defendê-lo. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Aqui está o vídeo que ele citou onde expliquei meu raciocínio: que dar o poder de censura ao estado é *mais provável levar ao fascismo. Em quase 20 anos de jornalismo, nunca tive um argumento distorcido como o que aconteceu há 2 semanas no Brasil: https://t.co/1cftRO6mOQ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Uau! Era tão raro que as pessoas durante o debate sobre a liberdade de expressão tivessem a capacidade ou a honestidade de compreender esse ponto básico sobre meu argumento que, ouvir isso de uma pessoa que discorda de mim era como encontrar água depois de semanas no deserto: https://t.co/IfUZq6RO9c — PolitiTweet.org
