Profile of Carlos Bolsonaro is Blocked on Facebook

By Contributing Reporter

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – This Wednesday, June 19th, the profile of Rio City Councilman Carlos Bolsonaro was blocked for seven days because of his comments on Facebook.

The reason, according to the city councilman, was the publication of a video that showed armed men — which is against the “community standards” of the social network, for showing explicit violence.

Carolos Bolsonaro confirmed the blocking in his Twitter profile and on Facebook and wrote:  “Thank God there are other administrators, and we will continue to expose the truths that they have left out.”

Carlos Bolsonaro is the second son of the 38th president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.

He graduated in Aeronautical Science from Estácio de Sá University and has been a Rio city councillor.

In 2000, Carlos Bolsonaro was the youngest alderman elected in Brazil’s history, having received 16.053 votes. In 2016, he was re-elected to a fifth term, being the most voted with 106.657 votes.
