The "fake" shelving of the inquiry that never was
The shelving of the fake news inquiry is, itself, fake. Actions and procedures derived from the persecutory monster will continue.
TL;DR
- The inquiry (No. 4.781) was created in March 2019, instated ex officio, and expanded beyond the STF's physical limits to the internet and global scale.
- It is described as a "monstrosity" where roles of victim, accuser, investigator, and judge were mixed, approved by the STF plenary except for Marco Aurélio Mello's dissenting vote.
- The inquiry targeted conservatives, Bolsonaro supporters, politicians, journalists, influencers, and businesses, leading to the seizure of devices, ban of social media, blocked bank accounts, and canceled passports.
- Elon Musk was also implicated in the proceedings.
- Alexandre de Moraes included his colleague André Mendonça in the inquiry in September.
- The current STF president, Edson Fachin, has requested its shelving, but the article argues this is a "fake" shelving as derivative actions will continue.
- No mention was made of investigating abuses by Dias Toffoli and Alexandre de Moraes or reparations for the persecuted.
