Amanda Miranda stated that the relationship between advertisers and newspaper editorial offices was coming to light and, in her assessment, showed that commercial journalism had much to learn from independent journalism. She said that independent journalism operated with transparency and ethics, respected its communities, and prioritized news over profit. She also argued that journalism should be treated as a service and a social production of knowledge, not as a business aimed at distorting reality to enrich entrepreneurs. Regarding the Master Case, she stated that hegemonic media needed to reorganize and be re-founded according to different principles. #Jornalismo #Ética #Transparência (translated)

Costin Andries wrote that Elon Musk claimed that Volodymyr Zelensky should leave because he did not want to capitulate and hand Ukraine over to Russia. According to Andries, Musk linked Zelensky's refusal to the organization of elections and the risk that he might lose and be investigated, claiming that the Ukrainian leader was sending soldiers to death to avoid prison. Andries responded that Zelensky had declared himself willing to organize elections if Vladimir Putin accepted a 60-day ceasefire so that voters would not be threatened by bombings and that soldiers and Ukrainians who had left the country could vote. He added that Putin did not want to stop the attacks and that Musk knew elections could not be organized under bombardments. Andries also reported that Musk had said Starshield was controlled by Trump's Pentagon and did not belong to him, while Starlink was his company and he could decide what to do with it. According to Andries, Musk had used dismissive language towards Ukrainians who asked him to act in a certain way and stated that he had no obligations towards them, even though the services were paid for. Referring to a post by Musk from 2023, Andries said that he had called for equal solidarity with Russian soldiers in Ukraine and asked only Ukrainians not to send soldiers to the front, without asking Putin to stop the attacks or to refrain from sending troops. Andries argued that Ukraine was achieving successes on the front, reclaiming territories occupied by Russia and destroying refineries, depots, servers, and other elements of Russian infrastructure. He stated that for this reason, Ukraine had to be stopped immediately, by any means, and described Trump and Musk as tools in this endeavor. #Ucraina #Musk #Politică (translated)

Putin is trying to weaken our resolve and stop our support for Ukraine, but Russia is failing - it is failing on the battlefield in Ukraine, and we will not be intimidated.

Janoninho stated that the inspection area of the Court, identified as AEED/TSE, did not find recent false publications on the channel on the analyzed dates. He said that, instead of acting against a specific publication, the measure silenced the entire channel and, in practice, constituted prior censorship, in addition to violating the rights of assembly and free expression provided for in Article 5, sections IV and IX, of the Constitution. The author also considered the measure disproportionate because it interrupted, on the eve of the election, the communication of millions of activists due to a bureaucratic registration issue. According to him, this harmed the equality of conditions in the democratic debate. #EXÉRCITODOLULACONTRACENSURA #LiberdadeDeExpressão #Censura #Democracia (translated)
