I hate Musk as much as anyone, but it’s a shit decision by Brazil
Earlier this year, Moraes ordered X to block certain accounts, as he investigates so-called “digital militias” that have been accused of spreading fake news and hate messages during the government of far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro.
These people are the equivalent of Trump’s cult followers, although I’m not on Twitter myself I am sure they are spreading fake news and any fight against it is a win in my point of view. I myself see these Bolsonaro lovers all the time and it’s crazy how they are brainwashed. I know plenty of people who didn’t take the COVID vaccine because of him.
Is it not Musks decision? I thought the situation was more akin to “Your house your rules? I don’t like your rules so I’m packing a bag and running away.”
You’re defending censoring people who are speaking out against the government. How is that a good thing?
They tried a coup (with the military and the brazilian rural oligarchs), so it’s not “censorship”, it’s enforcing that Brazil is a democratic (even if very flawed) country. The constitution give this right to the supreme court and him (he was the supreme judge for the last election, so dealing with the aftermath of the election is his obligation), so it’s a lot more nuanced than you might say.
Edit: If Musk doesn’t respect our laws, let him get out of here haha.
Is it censorship, or stopping (actual) fake news and lies because Musk fired Twitters moderation team?
(I don’t actually know)
You mean twitter (now X)?
Can Brazil rent out that judge to Europe for a Sec?
Meh, only the office closed, the site is still accessible. Here’s to hoping the escalation continues and xitter ends fully blocked
Offices, it (Xitter) will be still available in Brazil.
