MatoGrosso
- The Public Prosecutors Office for Labor wrote a recommendation letter for companies and public attorneys where it asks that conflicts over the vaccination of employees be avoided, but it ultimately settles in that, in order to preserve the health of coworkers, the employer can try to convince the employee to get the shot, and fire them if they refuse to get it.
- A Justice Court ruled in favor of conservative #TerçaLivre channel #YouTube permanently suspended to be reinstated, or they will have to pay a fine for every day that they don't. Terça Livre was suspended as thousands of channels are, without YT making clear what part of a video broke which guideline. This is a great victory for free speech and it opens a precedent for #socialmedia to be finally regulated.
- Congressman #DanielSilveira (plus 19 others) presented a law bill that prohibits #socialmedia platforms from censoring, shadowbanning, or outright banning posts and accounts whose content do not conflict with constitutional rights. This bill had been presented before, but the previous chair of the House of Representatives would not even put it to vote. Now, under the new chair, the hopes of seeing this law bill going for a vote is back, and Daniel and the others are asking for urgency. After the mass censoring of #Trump, allies, and supporters during his campaign and their eventual mass banning, they don't see why the same won't happen to Bolsonaro, allies, and supporters during this year's #elections. If this bill passes, it will (curiously and surprisingly) teach Americans, mainly #Republicans, a lesson, and #Trump, allies, and supporters will surely cheer.
- Some people are recording others receiving the anti-#COVID19 vaccine without the nurses being aware, and some of them are seen not giving the shot. You can see the nurse inserting the needle, but they don't push the plunger. #coronavirus
- #PauloGuedes, the secretary of the department of economy (called 'Ministry of Economy,' and him, 'minister'), said his hopes of having several economy bills passed rose after the election of the new chair of the #HouseofRepresentatives. The previous chair didn't even put the bills to vote.
- #Bolsonaro, who is currently without a party, is considering joining '#Patriotas' (Patriots) in order to run this year for a second term. His preferred party is '#AliançapeloBrasil' (Alliance for Brazil), but it's still in the process of collecting signatures in order to complete its creation, and thus not ready to have its candidates run in time in this year's elections.
- Billboards of #SãoPaulo Governor #Dória have been spotted in a city called #CampoGrande, State of #MatoGrosso. Two different billboard versions, one showing him wearing a mask, holding a syringe in one hand, the toothpaste-like box of the only vaccine he's been promoting, the #Chinese #CoronaVac (infamous for its 50-ish % efficacy rate), and the title, VACCINE FOR ALL. The other version shows him wearing a mask and waving a V, and it says, CONGRATULATIONS, DÓRIA. V OF VICTORY, V OF VACCINE, V OF 'VERDADE' (TRUTH). VACCINE FOR ALL. A video went viral for showing a woman driving by when she saw one of those, stopped, pulled her phone up and started recording, showing the billboard in the background while she demanded answers to why São Paulo's governor was being promoted in her state, and who could be funding it, but it was taken down by #YouTube, which claimed it broke their community guidelines. A congressman contacted YT Brasil demanding an explanation, since the video doesn't contain anything that can be considered defamatory, threatening, criminal, or illegal.
