Banned in Brazil, forced to pay 10% of global earnings per day until stopping misinformation posting in Australia.

10% of global earnings? Isn’t it losing money? Makes it sound like they’re paying him.

X is forbidden from offering services in Brazil until and unless it complies with the local courts (the company refused an order to suspend some accounts, then wouldn’t appoint a local representative as Brazilian law requires). Local ISPs are required to block it. I don’t know about Australia.

Of course, of course. The people fighting against fascism are always the real fascists. According to the fascists, anyway.

Reminds of all the conservative whackos calling the BLM protesters “fascists”.

They’re not even fighting against fascism per se they’re just asking him to obey the law. Asking people to obey the law isn’t exactly a political position.

The people fighting fascists do look a lot like, and behave like fascists. Why don’t we just stamp out twitter ? They are unredeemable and detrimental to existing. Just shut it down. And all forms of social media along with it.

None of it has any worth, burn it all diwb.

I’m not sure that word means what you think it means, Elon. Regulating scam sites is a pretty typical government thing.

Good thing he gutted Twitter’s content moderation teams in the name of “free speech”, eh?

If I had a dollar for every time a billionaire loses more money than I could ever dream of because their hubris got in the way or they misunderstood a concept or were just plain dumb – well, I guess I’d be a billionaire too.
