"The Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism (Abraji, for its acronym in Portuguese) has mapped 100 journalists blocked by public authorities on Twitter since it started to monitor these cases continuously, in September 2020. There are 196 blocks to the profiles of the President of the Republic, of ministers, deputies, governors and other authorities.
The reasons for the blocks received by a monitoring form or made directly to the Abraji team are diverse. Some professionals did not even work on the beats of the authorities that blocked them, others contested tweets with false information or mentioned the profile of the authority in sharing an article."
