Moraes orders to unblock Zambelli’s profiles on social networks
Justice Alexandre de Moraes, president of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), ordered the release of the social network accounts of federal congresswoman Carla Zambelli (PL-SP), suspended since November last year.
The decision applies to her Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Telegram, Tiktok, Gettr, Whatsapp, and LinkedIn profiles.
The magistrate justified in the document, signed on February 1, that the release of the accounts is due to the “cessation of dissemination of content coated with illegality and tending to transgress the integrity of the electoral process.
In the new decision, Moraes stated that Carla Zambelli stopped publishing posts that could disrupt the electoral process but pointed out that the speech of freedom of expression cannot be used as a “protective shield for the practice of threats, violations ‘antidemocratic’ acts and illegal activities.
The Justice also set a daily amount of R$20,000 if Zambelli continues to publish messages “encouraging a military coup, threatening the Electoral Justice and the Democratic State of Law.
As of this article’s publication, the congressman’s social networks have not been reactivated.
