*Social media wing of Brazilian newspaper complains that the controversy is by no means about censorship, and it really is all about the sanctity of trademarks and domain names.
"Hi, Bruce (((Oi!)))
"I'm the social media editor of Folha de S.Paulo (http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/conheca/index-en.shtml), I'd like to point out some misinformations in your article More Brazilian Cyperpolitics https://www.wired.com/beyond_the_beyond/2010/12/more-brazilian-cyberpolitics/.
"It's simply not true that the website http://desculpeanossafalha.com.br/english/ or any blog is under censorship due to Folha de S.Paulo.
"The lawsuit you quoted never intended to restrain the blog's content and clearly respected the satire. The civil action asked the blog to stop using Folha's trademark and stop using the domain name www.falhadespaulo.com.br (virtually identical to the newspaper's www.folhadespaulo.com.br).
"As a reader of 'Wired' and as an admirer of your work, I'd like to point out these wrong informations so your readers are not misled." (((Heaven forfend.)))
"If you have any questions regarding this subject, I'll be happy to send your questions to Folha's editors."
All the best,
