They are always borne of unfounded fears regarding social destabilization, as I see them. The experience of the USSR, is that you cannot ultimately shut off the message - it gets through even if suppressed. And then your people fault you for trying to deny them it (free speech). Americans remain woefully uninformed about modern-day Brazil. Well written piece Paula. It’s nice to see that Lula da Silva opposes such measures.
