- #PSL Rep #NelsonBarbudo, aiming to give fair treatment to people and institutions that are fact-checked by #factcheckers, proposes a bill demanding that they inform the one being fact-checked before posting a fact-checking, and give them 5 days to counterfact-check. If the fact-checking is not counterfact-checked in 5 days, the fact-checker can proceed to post it, but if they post it without informing and waiting for the counterfact-check up to 5 days, they'll have to pay a 10% fine over their revenue. We from TBB believe that websites that are only fact checkers should simply be outlawed, but this bill is better than nothing.
- The newly elected president of the #HouseofRepresentatives, #ArthurLira, dismissed 460 employees from temporary government positions only in House. This is an attempt to keep the ex-(and-disgraced-)chair #RodrigoMaia from having influence there by using some of these now-gone employees to transmit information and pass orders, and they would accept doing that for being thankful for the job, as it doesn't require one to take any public exam, but just be appointed.
