Kim Kataguiri: which is the country that grants the broadest scope of freedom of expression — even insults and defamation, for example, are not crimes in the United States — but even there, as a constitutional right, it is not unrestricted.
Kim Kataguiri: And the most commonly used example in legal doctrine is that in the United States you do not have the right to shout "fire" inside a movie theater, because you will cause danger and harm to other people, even though, in theory, that might fall under freedom of expression.
Here in Brazil, and I defend a doctrine that is more compatible with our legal system, which comes from Roman law and German law, which is that you should be held responsible for the damage you cause when you accuse, for example, someone unjustly of a crime.
Kim Kataguiri: When you falsely attribute criminal conduct — if I say someone stole and I don't prove it, raped, murdered and I don't prove it — I must be held accountable for that.
Kim Kataguiri: In the same way, if I incite crime, if I recruit people for organized crime, if I tell or encourage people to use drugs, encourage people to... to join the PCC, the Comando Vermelho, for example, I don't think there should be unrestricted freedom of expression, no.
