Falha de S. Paulo

[6][7] The Bocchinis criticized the fact that Folha, unlike O Estado de S. Paulo and CartaCapital, for example, would not declare its political preferences and even claimed not to have one.

[9] Besides making fun of the newspaper's coverage, they also edited pictures such as one in which Folha's director, Otávio Frias Filho, was dressed like Darth Vader, a villain in the Star Wars franchise.

[5] In a May 2011 audience, Folha, through its legal representative Taís Gasparian, said it wouldn't mind if the website were back online as long as the brothers refrained from using the newspaper's graphical project, logo, font, etc.

Among people who commented on the case are WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange;[15] then host of CQC, Marcelo Tas, and Casseta & Planeta host, Cláudio Manoel;[16] musician and ex-minister of culture Gilberto Gil;[17] and journalists Juremir Machado da Silva,[18] Guilherme Scalzilli,[19] Luís Nassif[20] and Celso Lungaretti.

[21] The non-governmental organization Reporters Without Borders published a note asking Folha to rethink its decision and pointing that while the newspaper could afford good lawyers, the brothers were experiencing difficulties financing their defense.

[6] The NGO also said that Folha's attempt to "financially asphyxiate a media outlet" represented "a new form of censorship" and that its end could open "a dangerous precedent in terms of right of caricature, part of the freedom of expression and opinion.

"[6] The Professional Journalists of São Paulo Union took part in a protest that demonstrated against, among other things, the justice's decision demanding the shutdown of Falha.

[28] Despite the website's end, some people started blogs and social media pages to host part of the lost content of Falha de S.
