Alexandre de Moraes, a judge on Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (STF), said the social media ban imposed on former President Jair Bolsonaro last week includes giving interviews and using social media directly or indirectly.

“The injunction prohibiting Bolsonaro from using social media, whether directly or through third parties, obviously includes the transmission, retransmission, or publication of audio, video, or transcripts of interviews on third-party social media platforms,” de Moraes told state-run news outlet Agência Brasil on July 21.
