From ground news summary:
- Brazilian police arrested a man and a teenager on May 3, 2025, foiling a bomb plot targeting Lady Gaga’s concert in Rio de Janeiro.
- Authorities uncovered the plot after identifying an online group spreading hate speech, radicalizing teenagers, and encouraging self-harm.
- Authorities conducted raids at nine sites across multiple Brazilian states such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, confiscating electronic equipment and other items connected to the planned bombing.
- Around 2.1 million people attended the free concert on Copacabana Beach, which aimed to boost the local economy and drew 500,000 tourists.
- The arrests prevented a potentially large-scale attack involving improvised explosives, highlighting authorities’ efforts against extremist online networks.
What the ground news summary did not describe that most publications seem to list are:
- The Brazilian federal police was already investigating other groups like this
- Authorities suspect the group was targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
- The arrested teenager was in possession of child sexual abuse material, and was charged on that.
- Another member of the group (not sure if he was charged) had religious motivations.


The author surely likes that the mascot is a dog. It feels more of a read and analysis of the terms of use than a deep dive of the tool but it was a good reading and I liked the suggestions.
I also liked the “reminder”.
Edit: you should share this in some community as a post, every time I see this kind of website (pure content no-nonsense) it is shared is in the comments. 15 years ago this kind of stuff was easy to find, but nowadays, I only see them in comment sections. Even the search engine recommended around here would list a bunch of junk in the first pages.
