The Supreme Court asked them to block the delivery of content inside of Brazil, for brazilians in Brazil's territory.
It doesnt matter where the original account is stored.
Those accounts are part of a large network of fake news spreading, with a lot of cash apparently originating from the country government itself..
The individuals themselves keep all the free speech rights.. they can go to newspapers, social media or speak on the streets. The only thing that is blocked its the accounts that are bounded to this fake news network process being judged by the supreme court.
Free speech cant be used as an excuse to constantly commit abuses and crimes that menace to demolish democratic institutions.
Democracy must have means to protect itself from malicious actors that are massively lying in a industrial scale fomented by big money from populists that dreams becoming dictators.
If part of this money is public, this is even worse.
We should have learned at least one or two about how the proto-fascists used every immoral and even illegal trick in the book to turn a democratic society into a fascist nightmare.

If you read the article it’s saying the court is asking Facebook to block delivery of certain content globally, not only within Brazil. And they are threatening a local Facebook employee with criminal liability, which is the reason Facebook says it has complied with the order while appealing it.
No, they have fined Facebook for not complying with this decision for the past two months and are increasing the fines if Facebook keeps refusing to comply.
