Mother Jones reports that major platforms Meta and X are restricting the reach of 'No Kings' protest and election-related content ahead of the US midterms, drawing comparisons with how dissent was handled in Brazil. The article argues that despite free-speech branding, platforms are unlikely to amplify political dissent, raising concerns about expression during a critical election period.
