Sérgio Moro: It seemed clear to me, from the debates we had today in the Committee, that if they insist on this topic, they will not have the majority of the members of that Committee, and I dare say that they will probably not have the majority here in the Plenary of the Federal Senate either.
Sérgio Moro: Of course, we'll see, but the postponement of a bill with so many problems is already a positive thing.
And finally, although there are other difficulties in this draft Electoral Code, the risks it poses of censorship, of the stifling of electoral debate, when it criminalizes disinformation.
Sérgio Moro: Of course, we are against fake news, we all defend the truth, we all understand that lies can corrupt the electoral process, but the great difficulty is knowing who defines what is disinformation, who defines what is a lie.
Sérgio Moro: And note that we live in a polarized environment, in which there are robust divergences on various current topics of public debate.
