    Brazilian here

    I’m sad that we lost Twitter, but I really don’t care that we lost X

    Fuck you, Elon Musk!

  2. It’s an end stage capitalism where states have to combat corporations. This time in cyberspace.

  3. People don’t have the right to free speech on a privately owned website on the internet no matter how many people are on it. It’s not some government mandated public service. There’s a terms of service you agree to when you sign up. Don’t like their rules? Don’t use the stupid website.

  4. Musk is trying to silence Media Matters for reporting a fact. Good for Brazil. Pushback is needed.

    Brazil also made the use of VPN illegal and had the app stores remove them for Brazil.

    “Anyone found to be accessing X in Brazil, for example by using VPN technology, will be fined the equivalent of about $8,900 a day”

    > “Soon, we expect Judge Alexandre de Moraes will order X to be shut down in Brazil – simply because we would not comply with his illegal orders to censor his political opponents,” the post said.

    > “The fundamental issue at stake here is that Judge de Moraes *demands we break Brazil’s own laws*. We simply won’t do that.”

    This is the case where X’s *attorney* was threatened with jail, and after she resigned from X, her bank accounts got frozen.

    One can agree or disagree if the court order was unlawful, but when the right to legal representation is treated in such a manner, it doesn’t seem like there’s much due process in Brazil to resolve that.

    If only the entirety of the EU could follow.

    Pull the rug out from under Musk, and humble him.

    Musk may have had a point if he wasn’t actively suppressing the voices he didn’t like.

    It’s truly weird to think that some think that freedom of speech should be sued to spread disinformation and lies. That’s not really its main purpose.
