Democracy is three wolves and a sheep deciding what to eat for dinner, or who can speak. 

In this case, the Brazilian citizens who desire freedom of expression are the sheep. 

The sheep challenging the 3 wolves is heroic. However, are you sure she should do it in the name of what allows them to eat her legally and in the name of the 'public good'?

You are making a dangerous confusion between freedom and democracy, my friend. 

Since you are fighting and resisting at great personal risk in the name of principle, wouldn't it be better doing so in the name of a non-arbitrary (logically deduced) idea of freedom rather than in the name of what is taking freedom away from you?
