Journalist Michael Shellenberger has accused Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and various government bodies, including the Supreme Court and Attorney General, of persecuting him following his exposure of censorship practices. Shellenberger claims these actions are part of broader efforts to censor legal speech and potentially ban independent journalists and politicians from social media platforms. This comes amid accusations that Brazil, while claiming to be a liberal democracy, is engaging in authoritarian practices.
