Brazilian here. This guy is the most power crook in power, and he's definetely has been abusing it, many similar cases. The guys from Rumble are lucky they are not in Brazil, otherwise they would be fucked, extortion for sure (pay or go to jail / get fucked). Also, google him, he looks exactly like a evil movie villain, and he has this nasty villan look all the time.
If I'm reading that correctly, the court is taking this action after requesting that rumble respond to their requests and rumble has not responded. It's not censorship from the get-go, it's brinkmanship from rumble to get this response, it seems

So the way somebody looks is half of your argument?
It's a relevant factor. There's a lot of statistically significant information about someone's personality that can be inferred from their face: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-65358-6 . It may be politically incorrect to do so but that doesn't mean it's not useful.
Please tell us what is "statistically significant" about this man's face.
This article:
"The reanimation of pseudoscience in machine learning and its ethical repercussions" https://www.cell.com/patterns/fulltext/S2666-3899(24)00160-0
shows why this is pseudoscience and harmful.
Yeah, why mention his appearance at all? It's crass and his actions should speak for themselves. Someone can be born with "villainesque" features and live a noble life, it's unfair to disadvantage them by perpetuating negative stereotypes.
Those stereotypes have a basis in reality; the way people think and behave etches itself on their faces. I don't think anyone with real life experience could seriously, honestly argue that it's not possible to discern any information about someone from their face/facial expressions and how they carry themselves.
This is HN, not twitter. Can you provide some more context or links to support your take on this?
Even if true, this comment isn't really conducive of a constructive or interesting conversation.
Because blocking a website that values hosting misinformation, conspiracy theories, ideological fascism and hateful bigoted content really makes you a bad guy. Do you free-speech absolutists ever take a look in the mirror?
Meh, I like his look a lot.
But the guy has definitively decided on turning his country into a dictatorial hell hole.
Brazil had already more than enough problems nobody was doing anything about, it really didn't deserve someone with a beyblade as a moral compass.
Let's hope he'll get a "Am I the baddie?" realization and doesn't enjoy it.
