The Federal court of Rio de Janeiro ruled in a preliminary injunction, which the federal government does not provide the means of communication, the advertising campaign slogan Brazil cant stop, which stands for the suspension of social isolation as part of a strategy to combat the covid-a 19-a disease that is caused by the new coronaviruses. This was asked just yesterday by MPF (Federal Public Ministry) may be granted by a federal judge in Lauras Many Oak-tree, on the duty of the judiciary.

The decision to bar the advertising of the government, which does not have the technical expertise to the Ministry of Health, and science. It was also argued that a campaign that threatens the constitutional right of the population to health care, and that its adoption could lead to a collapse of the health system. In the case of non-compliance on the part of the federal government, the court determines a fine of$ 100 up to a thousand.

According to her, the order for the community to abstain from conveying, by the radio, television, newspapers, magazines, web sites, or any other media, in physical or digital publicity materials relating to the campaign in Brazil you cant stop it, I suggest that in the population of behaviors that are not strictly based on the technical guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health, on the basis of publicly available documents, the entities, net recognised in the field of epidemiology and public health.

The president Jair Jair Bolsonaro (non-party) has been pushing the governors and mayors of large cities, to stop the measures of social isolation, and returning to the activities that generate agglomeration such as the proper functioning of the public transport, in the classroom, in schools, colleges, and universities, and the re-opening of the shops.

On the grounds that the economic impact of the blockage would be more severe than a pandemic, of a coronavirus, jair bolsonaro, has asked the population to go back to work, keeping you isolated only to the elderly and other members of the at-risk groups in the vault a strategy known as the isolation in the vertical position.

According to the judges campaign, the federal government is putting at risk the right to health care, particularly the most vulnerable such as the elderly, and the share of the poorest in the population.

It turns out that the incentive for people to exit the streets, and catch up on your routine, without the need for a plan to combat the pandemic, defined, and widely available, may be incompatible with the principles of precaution and prevention, it can also result in a deficient protection of the constitutional right to health care, both in its focus on individual, as a group. And that protection is disabled it would impact disproportionately on the most vulnerable groups, particularly the elderly and the poor, he says.

The magistrada highlights the fact that the campaign argues is the purpose of social isolation, which was adopted by a large part of the district governors and the mayors of the major towns and cities, without any scientific evidence.

In this regard, it is shown to be a risk in the placement of the campaign in Brazil you cant stop, which gives an incentive for the population to return to the routine, in opposition to the health measures of isolation advocated by the authorities at the international, state, county, and city, to the extent that it would give a boost to the number of cases of infection in the country, he says.

The judge also said that there is no scientific evidence that is contrary to the social, and the encouragement for the population to get out of the house, you can generate a collapse in the health-care system.

In this campaign, there is no mention of the possibility that the mere fact of social distancing may lead to a greater number of cases, the Covid-19, when compared with the extent of the isolation, and the adoption of a measure that is more lenient it would have as a consequence of a likely collapse of the systems of public and private health care. The impact of such a campaign would have if it was promoted widely by the eu, and without the proper information about the risks and the potential consequences for the health care of the individual and the collective, could lead to irreparable damage to the population, he said.

The MINISTRY has also asked the Justice to prohibit the dissemination of the campaign to profiles on the officers of the federal government in the social networks, as well as information from the social isolation that they are not strictly based on scientific evidence.

It has also requested the government to issue a correction on your social networks, stating that the information provided in the advertising campaign, does not have a scientific basis. It also wants social networks, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Youtube WhatsApp to stop the traffic to your posts prompted by the publicity from the government, and to adopt effective strategies in order to avoid further publications on this line.

In both of these cases, however, the court preferred to leave the assessment of the position of the 10th Federal court of Rio de Janeiro, where it was distributed in the first place.

The campaign was produced in an official capacity at the request of the Secom (Secretary of Communication of the Presidency of the Republic), and published originally by the senator for Flavio jair bolsonaro (the Republicans) on social media. The video is about 90 seconds, which brings up a collage of images with a voice-over offquoting the workers, and in sectors of the economy, which, in the opinion of the government, will be affected by social isolation as a response to the coronavirus.

For those who defend the lives of the brazilians, and the conditions for everyone to live in quality, health, and dignity, and Brazil has definitely you cant stop it, he says in the videos completion.

The leader of the Secom, He Wajngarten, has been tainted by the covid-19 with a motorcade to the presidential for the United States of america. He served in the social, criticized the campaign, developed by the agency that is in charge of. In addition to the Wajngarten, the other 24 people who signed up for the visit of the president Jair jair bolsonaro had contracted the coronavirus.

In a statement, the Secom has denied that it has endorsed the campaign, as disclosed by the eldest son of the president, Jair, jair bolsonaro. According to the agency, this is the video that is produced on a trial basis, so the cost to you and without a trial, and the approval of Secom. In the piece, it would be the initial proposal for the use of the social networking sites that you would have to go through the scrutiny of the Government. Has not been adopted, nor featured in any of the official tv channel of the united states. It is worth noting, for it does not doubt that there is any campaign by the Federal Government, with the video being posted for the time being, and, therefore, there has not been any expenditure or cost to you in this regard.

However, there are social networks images with the brand of Secom with the hashtag developed for the campaign. The arts have the features of the design professional and want to follow the same pattern as the aesthetic of the campaign released by the federal government during a pandemic coronavirus.

LinkedIn is a website thats effectively a mixture between an interactive resume and a college job fair, but that hasnt stopped it from aspiring to be a cooler, more social part of the internet. Its latest attempt? Snapchat-style stories, which the company announced it was testing internally to try out a new conversational format for business conversations.

According to Pete Davies, LinkedIns head of content products, the goal is to meet LinkedIn users where their voices are. Stories would offer a lighter, more casual way of interacting in the business-focused world that makes up LinkedIn, instead of the formal messaging and posting that makes up the bulk of interactions on the site. For example, Davies imagines that a company might use stories to share key moments from work events or tips and tricks that help us work smarter.

More cynically, one could view LinkedIn stories as similar to features like the companys video filters from 2018: a sad attempt at chasing the relevancy and popularity of social networking apps in an attempt to grow beyond its dull, corporate identity.

The original stories feature was first introduced by Snapchat all the way back in 2013, before Instagram shamelessly copied the idea and brought it to even higher heights of popularity in 2016. Other apps, including Facebook, WhatsApp, and YouTube, would soon follow, to the point where [thing] will now have stories became its own meme.

Technically, this isnt even LinkedIns first time dabbling in the social media story format: in 2018, it tested a similar feature called Student Voices that let college students post videos to a campus playlist that lived on top of the LinkedIn app.

But where the Student Voices feature was limited both in who could use it (college students) and what they could post (just videos, without the plethora of features that apps like Instagram offer), the new LinkedIn story feature sounds like it would be a much broader service.

Theres no guarantee that LinkedIn will actually launch stories to the broader public: right now, its just being tested internally, with plans for wider public tests in the coming months.
