Olá Carolina, Não concordo que essa decisão traga "grave consequences for free expression and transparency around the world." Pelo contrário. Política é algo fluido, e é bom que os políticos se sintam à vontade para ouvir, propor, refletir, voltar atrás, ouvir novamente, mudar de opinião. Essa gana por uniformidade e coerência militar é ruim para a política.
Acho que não se deve proibir de veicular opiniões passadas, isso não. Volto sempre a falar da morte dos blogueiros brasileiros, que é algo de uma gravidade tremenda. Mas se um aplicativo não faz tudo o que está a seu alcance para que essas opiniões sejam facilmente resgatadas, não é um problema gravíssimo nem ameaça a livre expressão.
