Brazil +100yo election day law is an interesting one!</div><div>Nobody can be arrested on election day for most common crimes, aggressive campaigning means jail time and, last but not least, FoE becomes quite an "interpretative" area. </div><div><br></div><div>Alas, best source to understand our complicated election laws are the folks from the institutes researching democracy and technology.

Of course there was expendiency in removing the political satire page but one can only wonder how much pressure do such "out of the blue" blockage court orders really have in a country who is listening far more to economic powers than to Marco Civil these days. </div><div><br></div><div>Best, </div><div><br></div><div>Renata</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Oct 11, 2016 at 1:02 PM, Carolina Rossini <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:carolina.rossini@gmail.com" target="_blank">carolina.rossini@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Renata might be able to help you sooner.
