can someone explain to me why Brazilians aren't in the streets rioting about their corrupt government shutting down WhatsApp, Facebook, and other social networks because people were expressing their dissatisfaction with their politicians?

That's apparent, I mean what the fuck is up with this shit? Why do you put up with it?
What the hell, that's PRC tier limitations of the internet.
>But a year later, [Eduardo Cunha] controls a Congress dominated by evangelical extremists and military dictatorship apologists, and is authoring or advocating on behalf of a slate of proposed laws that would not only dismantle Marco Civil’s provisions for consumer privacy and freedom of expression, but would also effectively criminalize the use of social media.
They chose this future

The funny thing is when you read the comments the uni students down there are in favor of this and against Zuck for not providing the info, is the Brazilian Government Leftist?
>>52271874
because it is bait, it's written in a way to mislead you into thinking everything is doomed, and it isn't 2bh, also there are tons happenings happening right now here, so nothing is really clear. That article is just click bait
>>52271874
Almost everything contained in that post is a lie.
Only the evangelical extremists thing is partially true.

>Congress dominated by evangelical extremists and military dictatorship apologists
Wut
He who wrote this is a fedora who knows nothing about politics. The evangelicals are a (vocal) minority and the only ones who care about the dictatorship are far-left MPs and Bolsonaro.

>>52272141
WTF man all the BRs here are saying that's bullshit.
They can't organize a demonstration without social media
>>52272481
I guess they'll have to use Brazil's former method of communication: pigeons
>>52272312
It's being shut down for 48 hours as "punishment" for not providing the cops with the private info of a suspect.
