   Exactly.   
      
   The truth is, they do not harm only children.   
      
   Yesterday, on the radio they were commenting on X refusing to identify   
   who says what. Freedom of speech, they say. Well, the justice system of   
   Brasil ordered the people that helped the coup de etat attempt menacing   
   on X be identified. X refused. The president menaced X be banned from   
   brasil. X was angry and menaced Brasil, but at the end, they had to give   
   in. Three hundred people revealed is less than losing an entire country   
   to the network. Lots of revenue lost. More or less this is the summary,   
   inaccuracies are expected, my memory is not perfect.   
      
   The reporters on the radio said that they themselves are all identified.   
   If a paper says something illegal, they are punished by the justice   
   system. Why have the people saying illegal things in X to be protected   
   by anonymity? Social Media has to he held accountable, same as other   
   Media such as TV, Radio, or the Press.
