    Just another of many taxes that have either been increased or created during nine-finger's third term....nº 22 if not mistaken.....and only the 22nd, because during the presidential campaign of 2022, he solemnly swore he would NOT raise taxes, as the “people” were already being “overtaxed” - a (fake) dig at Bolsonaro who, despite all of his failings, actually reduced the tax burden on common citizens.

    The taxation of streaming companies was a ploy engineered by the Globo group, a staunch supporter of ninefinger's disastrous administration, and which has received enormous amounts of funds to divulge government propaganda - a very important strategy and a priority of this failed government.

    Part of the funds collected by this new tax will be funnelled into national streaming companies, and strangely enough, the only national one, of any significance, is Globo Play.

    Globo, which ostensibly prides itself for respect and the promotion of woke policies, uses Globo Play to produce films and /or TV series that concentrate on violence, crime, corruption and to incentivise the destruction of family values and decency.

    So yes, TV Globo deserves to be known locally as Globo Lixo, or Globo Rubbish. A disgustingly unethical group that contradicts all of its self-proclaimed decency and correctness.

    It only survives due to extremely generous handouts from the leftie, woke governmet of nine-fingers, who uses taxpayer money to keep it in business.

    Since the beginning of his 3rd administration in 2023, nine-fingers has spent over R$ 2 billion on propaganda (mainly lies), a sum larger than the individual bugdets of some of the many, small (irrelevant) ministries he created to accomodate his loyal PeTista buddies. During previous PT administrations, Globo received billions - which have bought TV Globo's unwavering loyalty.
