I present to you a more serious recent case, in my opinion. The comedian Leo Lins made jokes about slavery and minorities in a show. As a consequence, his YouTube channel was removed by the justice system [0]. Additionally, approximately $61k of his assets (equivalent to 300k in Brazilian currency) were frozen, and he is prohibited from making more "demeaning" jokes in public. Failure to comply will result in a $2k fine per day.

Regardless of the quality of his jokes, I believe that when comedy faces censorship, it marks the erosion of the last barrier protecting free speech.

By the way, I'm Brazilian.
