A Brazilian judge has threatened former President Jair Bolsonaro after determining he violated a ban on sharing a speech. The court found that Bolsonaro strategically delivered the speech to news outlets with the explicit intention of it being disseminated on social media, thereby circumventing the restriction. This ruling intensifies an ongoing national debate regarding the scope of such bans, specifically whether they should extend to news interviews and broadcasts. The case raises complex questions about freedom of speech, media coverage, and the responsibilities of public figures in the digital age.
