About Débora Medeiros

1 posts · joined 2008-09-10

I'm a Brazilian student of Social Communication and also a writer and a blogger. My greatest passion in my professional field is radiojournalism, along with community media. There's something in common between these two subjects and citizen journalism such as practiced in sites like Global Voices Online: they all make the information flow a lot easier and reach people around the world, raising awareness and uniting groups with the same problems. So, I'm glad I can help both here and as a voluntary translator on Global Voices em Português :)

Brazil: Justice aims at Twitter and hits innocent bloggers

If the Brazilian Electoral Justice is not quite sure about what the Internet is, their latest blunder proves that Twitter is completely alien to them.

Mind you: They could have taken down the whole Twitter website instead.
