The nuance is in the first paragraph:<p>&quot;Facebook (FB.O) said on Saturday it has put a global block on certain accounts controlled by supporters of Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro implicated in a fake news inquiry [related to the 2018 elections], a day after it was fined for not complying with a [Brazilian] Supreme Court judge’s order to do so.&quot;<p>Update: this is a dupe of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=24025587" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=24025587</a>

Pet peeve: articles describing people being censored <i>never</i> show you what they were censored for.<p>Hiding this information makes it look politically motivated. If it&#x27;s so bad, why isn&#x27;t the content of the material that got them banned reported on?<p>&quot;Hate speech allegations&quot; is more than meaningless. It means precisely nothing. What did they actually say?
