If you hurt the feeling of DEI activists they will try to erase your existence from society. They don’t like free speech at all if the speech does not align with their value.
Brazil is corrupt, just like the majority of the world. I wouldn’t outright trust anything the news says. Do your own research if you’re capable. Or be a sheep.
You’re really cheering on a corrupt government huh? Yeah sure, Brazil has its say but the jokes on them. They’re not very well versed on cyber security so anyone can get a VPN.
Im Brazilian and the SJ Alexandre de Moraes isn’t following our own law, it is against the law to ban people because their are expressing their opinions on social media, Elon Musk used that against the judge but… Brazil is not a democracy any longer! We turned into a dictatorship thanks to Alexandre de Moraes!
Musk is actually following Brazilian's law. Most of Alexandre de Moraes orders are not based in law and some are outright illegal, like fining every person who accesses twitter by 9000 dollars PER DAY. Under Brazilian constitution you cannot be forced to follow a judge order unless you are part of the process or there is a law stating it.
You are so naive. 😂. Tell me how did brazils current leader get his position? Being that it's his 2nd time being leader and the 1st he was removed and jailed for mass corruption? His people despise him yet he magically won the most shady election in modern history. Yikes. Another WEF policy pushing placed human sock puppet. His deal probably do what we say or go bk to jail. But gotta stop bad words right? Lololol
I'm from Brazil. What the judge is doing is against the law. The left rules ALL branches of the government now, and They want to Destroy the right wing by censoring free speech, our last resort.
Lies and misinformation is not freedom of speech. You're also saying that you need your mommy to tell you what you can and can't read. You're education level only rises so far if you have others doing the thinking for you.
Yes it is. Look at covid, all sides were spreading bs that weren't true at the time. Biden even said "its a pandemic of the unvaxxed" getting a mass amount of people believing not getting the shot was the problem and the reason why we couldn't work
@@stevesntrains letting only one side decide what is "bigotry and hate" leads to corruption. that fact you are defending it is mind blowing. truth is far more important than anyones feelings, especially that of politicians
who would have tought that if you dont't follow the country rules there would be consequences right? so crazy (irony, because you don't seem like the person who would understand irony)
Leaders in countries like Brazil who don't want freedom of speech for their own people should be banned from the Internet. Period. Let them solve their own infrastructural problems, and let their people solve their problems dealing with their own authorities. Wait, that's right!!! they have no internet!!! I pity the fools.
A country that deprive their citizens from a fundamental right like freedom of speech, knowledge, should not seek towards America for any form of support.
It's not about what it is, it's about what it is used for. All the programs on cell phones are just apps now. So, if they ban text messaging apps, would you feel the same?
😂 who law ? Turn off fine pour land so what's the lost as people use devices to change location apn . Then issue is their people are protesting their government over tweets
No it wasn't, the judge was breaking the law, the company was following the law, Brazil is under a tyranny that violates the law to silence Brazilians, which is illegal, censorship is against the law in Brazil.
Brazilian here. Twitter was actually following the law. The judge was the one trying to covertly ban congressmen from social media. Which is illegal even against civilians, let alone covertly.
Musk was also asked to remove channels from opposition leaders in India, and he did so, mocking people that said it was anti-free speech for asking him to not follow India's law. The guy is completely self-contradictory, and he never does critical interviews (except once with a below 0 IQ reporter) so he never has to answer for it.
Exactly. Elon doesn't care about free speech, so all the crying on the right is nonsense. He also FAILED to pay the fines and appoint a legal representative in Brazil. BASIC requirements of ANYONE running a business there. I or anyone else's business would be shut down in an instant if we didn't follow those requirements, so why should Elon be any different?
Wouldn't it be nice to open up the newspaper or to go on X and to decide for yourself if you like it or not instead of having a country hold your hand and say no, you can't read this. I see people in countries like the US and the UK being censored and feel very sad for them. Then I see Brazil and their people and realize, I guess it could be worse. 😂
Jokes on them his starlink allows them to get it if they choose. The irony that he literally created the verry device that will make it impossible to ban is great😂
People are going off about billionaires like Brazil doesnt have any of their own, when Brazil got 13 new ones this year, most of which are women. In total they have more Billionaires than Hong Kong or Taiwan. I wonder if they have access to X, lol - just not regular Brasilieros.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Tick toc breaks the laws they're interfering in this election just like Russia did last time except for it wasn't Russia with Trump It was Russia with Hillary
No, it is not. It is the equivalent of how Hitler shut down newspapers critical of him. Or how China sends thugs into businesses here in the US to silence criticism.
And now in the end x still can be access and gov cannot demand anything aside threat fines while company no longer use bank account in those countries. So gov must pay if want company to comply.
I FIND IT STRANGE WHY WE AMERICANS THINK OUR CONCEPT OF FREEDOM AND FREE SPEECH SHOULD BE IMPOSED ON INDEPENDENT SOVEREIGN NATIONS. IF I WANT TO DO BUSINESS IN BRAZIL, I FOLLOW BRAZILIAN LAWS.

Free speech for Brazil
You didn't mention Iran, Russia, and North Korean. Ijs
The problem in Brazil is deeper than that. It would take more than 4 minutes to try to understand what s going on and give a verdict.

Very well. But this IS an excellent start.
For some, even 4 minutes is not needed to tell the truth. Banning X says it all
