Posibly He's trying to achieve political goals, Musk is leading far right political groups, just like those who rioted in UK recently, that were, according to investigations organized through "X".
Fabio forgot to mention the most important point. Elon fired all of X Brazilian employees and refused to nominate a legal representative for his company in Brazil. That can't happen. Any company needs to have a person who would respond for any legal action. How come nobody mention that?

Well, that's just not true. He said clearly - we are going to preserve freedom of speech as much as the country's laws allow us to do. The problem in Brazil is the Supreme's Court 'Judge' doesn't follow their own country's constitution. So.. if you want the Brazils law respected, you should aim your grievances at the said judge.
@@Kourfed Elon "You will be banned for saying the word 'cis'" Musk, the man who harassed and banned journalists who spoke out against him, who fired workers for *mentioning* unions, is going to "preserve freedom of speech"?
Right wing in Brazil hates alexandre and lula and they are spreading everywhere that is censorship just like musk, that's why musk chose to fight with the law in Brazil
What a bunch of lies. Brazilian law is very clear about not allowing the ban of accounts. According to our law, a platform can only ban posts IF it gives enough substantiation. Our constitution is very clear about free speech, and it is one of our fundamental rights. This judge has been sending emails to the platforms to ban lists of names of users that are complaining about his illegal decisions. In those Emails he doesn't give ANY reason for why he is banning those users as the law determines, he only orders the platform to pretend to the user that his ban is an internal decision of the platform (he doesn't want his name to appear because he knows it is illegal). He has been clearly censoring the opposition because we have elections next month. So twitter faced a hard decision, or he acts according to the Brazilian law OR he obeys the judge that has been breaking the law for the last 3 years. He chose the first and had to take all his employees from Brazil because the judge wanted to arrest them to force twitter to obey his censorship orders. It's sad to see a video like this full of disinformation, I hope it's not intentional..
learn to read: "As of April 2023, at least 34 out of 50 states have announced or enacted bans on state government agencies, employees, and contractors using TikTok on government-issued devices. State bans only affect government employees and do not prohibit civilians from having or using the app on their personal devices."
@@smkh2890 Liars. The Law determines that the application be sold to a non-Chinese operator. According to the approved project, ByteDanc is required to sell TikTok's US operation to a company outside China. If this does not happen within nine months, the law provides that the app will be banned from the country's app stores and servers.
Brazil can and WILL shut him down, if you’ve done business internationally, you would understand, Brazil is an extremely powerful country under THEIR OWN laws
I am Brazilian and I am glad to see that anyone who disrespects my people and my country will face consequences. Elon Musk is not above Brazilian constitution!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷
this is not true. Elon Musk is refusing to break brazilian law which defends freedom of speech, and Alexandre de Moraes is censoring people on social media.
He don't agree with censorship but he already censored his workers to speak their grievances to the public.. He don't like the problem but he is the one that cause it. If only he was fair to his workers. They don't even need to unionize in the first place.
Stop lying. He fired workers who tried to take over his company. Even the other workers wanted them gone. Plus he's NOT A GOVERNMENT. He's a private business owner. Do you not know what freedom of speech is? It's against GOVERNMENT censorship.
except it is not censorship at all. Freedom of speech is limited in every country. Brazil's Constitution and law ban criminal use of speech such as defamation, incitement of violence, incitement of coup and other criminal activities. Let us be accurate and call things by their name. Enforcing the law is not censorship and abusing the internet to incite violence and coups against democracy is NOT "freedom of speech". And billionaires aren't above the law.

No, Elon Musk is a petty man. You have a left wing government so all of sudden he is a "free speech absolutist". Notice with right wing governments of India, and Turkiye, Elon Musk has no problems banning twitter accounts they want.
Your freedom ends where other's begin. This is basic politics we learn at junior high. Your freedom has caused people to kill themselves (remember that girl and Choquei). All Musk need to do was ban the profile, since create a Ministry to prosecute this would need a LOT of money (and u probably thing federal government already spent too much, right). Musk didn't do it. So the freest option is to ban Twitter
@@concilium1 If free speech almost exclusively means letting hatred become an institution of life, then not expecting stiff resistance can only be viewed as narcissistic dogmatism, symptomatic of clinical insanity.
Brazil is under a dictatorship, the only free speech platform was X and they banned it for it. All others censor illegally, violating Brazil's Constitution, Elon was respecting the law, thats why they made these criminal orders that violate every law in the book.

I'm sure if Turkey or Hungary was asking Musk to take an account down, he would oblige in a flash. After all the man has taken down Ukraine Starlink service in the middle of a critical battle, I'm sure Putin had nothing to do with that.
Very simple. Mr. Musk think he can go to countries and violate its laws. No, he can’t. All Brazil is asking is to Mr.Musk to have a representative from his office in the country and pay his fees. That’s all.
Musk is following the law in Brazil. The judge and this authoritarian government wants to silence people it disagrees with. It wants to be the arbiter of truth like the government in 1984 novel. Free speech must be protected. Disinformation is so bored a topic that what is disinformation could be true or not. Take corruption for instance. What if someone says this Brazil judge got kickbacks financially? Is thT misinformation?
if a brazilian national does anything illegal, he should be arrested. What brazilian government wants is to shut down people....... censorship is what it is. Apparently this senator did nothing illegal
"It wasn't just one judge; four other Supreme Court judges also voted for the suspension of X. A company that doesn't have a legal representative in Brazil cannot operate here. Even though he is a billionaire, he cannot disrespect the laws and the sovereignty of a country."
A mesma constituição que obriga a gente a votar? Claro. Tú tens que admitir, na votação, ela é falha! Ainda bem que na maior parte do mundo é facultativo.
Well, that's Musk and X's own fault. I fell sorry for the users, but they should be blaming him, not the Supreme Court. It's like if an airline doesn't follow the rules and gets shut down by the regulatory agency, it's not the agency's problem if a bunch of people had tickets purchased.

As a Brazilian who does *not* support the current government, I want to make this clear: *This is NOT censorship*. In Brazil, everyone is free to speak their mind, including criticism of the government or the supreme court, as long as it doesn't involve crimes like racism, coup advocacy, or disinformation (which are clearly defined in our laws). X and Elon Musk fled the country to avoid complying with decisions from the supreme court and to evade legal obligations the company still holds here. Lastly, what is happening in Brazil is entirely unrelated to situations in Iran in 2009 or Venezuela recently. This is not the action of an authoritarian government; the ban was ordered by the Judiciary, not the Executive, in response to legal violations. If anyone tells you this is about censorship or dictatorship, *know that is false*.

You do know Brazil has aligned itself with the Russians and the Chinese since Lula took over. He’s not a liberal, he’s aligning Brazil with authoritarian regimes against Brazil’s traditional allies like America which is why they are targeting X. the opposition has used it to organise.
There many controversies regarding the legality of Justice Moraes orders. First of all many of the inquiries that motivate the X suspension were started with out any provocation from the Prosecutor Office, which is excepcional and only allowed in a specific situation where the Supreme Court itself is in danger. Some inquiries are lasting years (one of those was iniciated on 2019), which is forbidden by Brazilian law (an inquiry must last 180 days, being allowed extensions, but not infinite). Brazilian constitution forbids censorship, the "Marco Civil da Internet" (Internet regulation law) allows the removal of content but it must be preciselly identified (there must be a link in the judicial order), but Justice Moraes is asking for the suspension of profiles (which is preemptive censorship), even worse, all orders are under judicial secrecy, so the owner of such suspended profile receives no notification and is not informed of the judicial order (the orders that X received forbids the platform to inform the owner of the suspended account of the order of suspension itself). This goes on and on ...

💔So you would like to move toward a world where a politician can shoot someone or do any other heinous crime and then the common people can be legally jailed for talking about it? 😳
Good. Companies need to follow the law of the country they do business in. Just like foreign country companies need to follow our laws. This is not rocket science folks.

Because they're from the same company group. X denied to follow the decisions of Brazil's Supreme Court, its not paying fines for non-compliance with court decisions and not appointing a legal representative in Brazil.
Guys, I am Brazilian and you shouldnt be hating on Elon Musk, he is just defending the right of the people to give their opinions online. Alexandre de Moraes is arresting people, censoring people for no reason, anyone who says something against the government is pursued. Alexandre de Moraes is the one going against the laws, he is going against Brazil's Constitution. Elon Musk did not follow the orders because they are against the Brazilian constitution which says that everyone has the right to have their freedom of expression. Federal Constitution of 1988, article 5, paragraph IV: “The expression of thought is free, anonymity being prohibited”. Alexandre de Moraes is controlling Brazil fully, he is authoritary, many things he is doing are against the law, so no, Elon Musk is not trying to be superior than the law, he is following the law. Its literally censoring 22 million users in Brazil. Alexandre blocked the accounts of Starlink in Brazil, to pay the punishment imposed on Twitter, as if both companies belonged to the same group, they have other partners, different partners. Another decision by the minister, which makes Brazil a bad place for foreign investors. The majority of profiles on Twitter are not toxic at all, unless what is discordant from your opinion is considered toxic. Freedom of expression: for disagreement to have space, no one is forced to be on Twitter literally. Alexandre de Moraes threatened to arrest the last representative in Brazil and froze his bank accounts, in addition to ignoring all the company's arguments presented to him.
This judge (Moraes) is the one not following the law and the constitution. Musk refused to comply because Moraes' requests were unconstitutional. It's as simple as that. Check out Glen Grenwald's work to understand what's going on in Brazil. Greenwald is a left-leaning journalist, by the way, in case that matters to you.
Stop sucking up to a Billionaire trying to meddle with a country's politics and economics to his own benefit. By what i see, this decision was very much within the law and not above it as you imply here.
it's funny how people that are not judges, judging the decision of a judge based on their beliefs of what is correct or not, and nothing will happen because they aren't judges themselves.
There is an aspect that analyst Fabio da Silva overlooked: Brazilian law, specifically the so-called "Marco Civil da Internet" (Law 12.965 of 2014), requires internet providers to have a representative on Brazilian soil in order to operate. By closing his office in Brazil, Elon Musk voluntarily puts himself in a position of being unable to operate, while also attempting to avoid paying debts to the Brazilian government. In fact, this last point was what enabled the enforcement of legislation affecting Starlink. In Brazil, companies in the same "de facto economic group," meaning with the same controlling entity, are jointly liable for debts owed to the state and other creditors. It is worth noting that Brazilian employees laid off by X complained that not all severance payments required by Brazilian law were fully paid, at least initially. The democratic Brazilian government has effective means to handle claims and disagreements, which do not involve disobedience to laws or judicial decisions.
Don’t be confused. The Law is one thing, the judges order is another (and it’s illegal). This “Brazilian specialist” is wrong because the law and Constitution is one thing. What this judge is doing is another… what he did hasn’t any legal provision in Brasil and is clearly politically biased as even the mainstream media already acknowledged. X indicated that it was willing to comply with the law, what X refused to was complying with this judge’s unlawful orders (censorship and prosecution of people without any criminal proof). That is it.
In places like EU and China he has even more strict laws, I wonder why is he trying to impose in Brasil.
Brazil's laws are free speech, they are being censored illegally, this is an illegal censorship hurting Brazilians.
He thinks he's Kissinger in the 70's

Expect Elon can't even do a truck that trucks properly
If it works, he can move to the next targets. An experiment
Posibly He's trying to achieve political goals, Musk is leading far right political groups, just like those who rioted in UK recently, that were, according to investigations organized through "X".
And he followed the same thing Brazil asked for India and China. He is just aiming for desestabilization for personal insterest.
Fabio forgot to mention the most important point. Elon fired all of X Brazilian employees and refused to nominate a legal representative for his company in Brazil.
That can't happen. Any company needs to have a person who would respond for any legal action. How come nobody mention that?
@@talkingleds correct @wastedtalentusa he is willing to have a legal personal to be arrested .... Starlink has nothing to do with X and now he is attacking Ellons companies, on this war, the ones that loose are the population that has nothing to do with that

Well, that's just not true. He said clearly - we are going to preserve freedom of speech as much as the country's laws allow us to do. The problem in Brazil is the Supreme's Court 'Judge' doesn't follow their own country's constitution. So.. if you want the Brazils law respected, you should aim your grievances at the said judge.
@@Kourfed Elon "You will be banned for saying the word 'cis'" Musk, the man who harassed and banned journalists who spoke out against him, who fired workers for *mentioning* unions, is going to "preserve freedom of speech"?
Right wing in Brazil hates alexandre and lula and they are spreading everywhere that is censorship just like musk, that's why musk chose to fight with the law in Brazil
What a bunch of lies.
Brazilian law is very clear about not allowing the ban of accounts. According to our law, a platform can only ban posts IF it gives enough substantiation. Our constitution is very clear about free speech, and it is one of our fundamental rights.
This judge has been sending emails to the platforms to ban lists of names of users that are complaining about his illegal decisions. In those Emails he doesn't give ANY reason for why he is banning those users as the law determines, he only orders the platform to pretend to the user that his ban is an internal decision of the platform (he doesn't want his name to appear because he knows it is illegal). He has been clearly censoring the opposition because we have elections next month.
So twitter faced a hard decision, or he acts according to the Brazilian law OR he obeys the judge that has been breaking the law for the last 3 years. He chose the first and had to take all his employees from Brazil because the judge wanted to arrest them to force twitter to obey his censorship orders.
It's sad to see a video like this full of disinformation, I hope it's not intentional..

As a Brazilian who does *not* support the current government, I want to make this clear: *This is NOT censorship*. In Brazil, everyone is free to speak their mind, including criticism of the government or the supreme court, as long as it doesn't involve crimes like racism, coup advocacy, or disinformation (which are clearly defined in our laws). X and Elon Musk fled the country to avoid complying with decisions from the supreme court and to evade legal obligations the company still holds here.
Lastly, what is happening in Brazil is entirely unrelated to situations in Iran in 2009 or Venezuela recently. This is not the action of an authoritarian government; the ban was ordered by the Judiciary, not the Executive, in response to legal violations. If anyone tells you this is about censorship or dictatorship, *know that is false*.

Brazil is right about it.
no it's not, free speech is a God given right and no government should take that away from it's people
@@blindade1 free speech is to say anything you want .... BUT with some limits.
@@Eduard.Popa. Like the type of limits the USA placed on Julian Assange for exposing their corrupt dealings and nature??? that type of limitation right?? like Epstein list not being released, those type of limits???
The fact is your defending a corrupt government who has brainwashed you into thinking their political witch-hunt in the name of censorship is justified... it isn't.
and another thing, the elite and world governments created this problem of free speech vs censorship on purpose, as they knew it's an issue that would divide the masses like its doing... then the time will come when the majority will vote in favor of censorship (by choice) and that will be the end of democracy. The governments and the elite create these problems on purpose and then come out as saviours with the solutions, solutions that will take our God given freedom away. just study history mate, it always repeats itself.
@@blindade1 free speech under Brazilian law is indeed a right not "God-given" but enshrined in our Constitution, but, like any other right, people that exert it can be held responsible and legally liable for the consequences of said speech. It is NOT an "absolute" right, like some people think, confusing it with First Ammendment to the American constitution (even in the US it is NOT absolute, there is a limit to free speech - the proverbial 'shouting fire in a crowded theater').

There many controversies regarding the legality of Justice Moraes orders. First of all many of the inquiries that motivate the X suspension were started with out any provocation from the Prosecutor Office, which is excepcional and only allowed in a specific situation where the Supreme Court itself is in danger. Some inquiries are lasting years (one of those was iniciated on 2019), which is forbidden by Brazilian law (an inquiry must last 180 days, being allowed extensions, but not infinite). Brazilian constitution forbids censorship, the "Marco Civil da Internet" (Internet regulation law) allows the removal of content but it must be preciselly identified (there must be a link in the judicial order), but Justice Moraes is asking for the suspension of profiles (which is preemptive censorship), even worse, all orders are under judicial secrecy, so the owner of such suspended profile receives no notification and is not informed of the judicial order (the orders that X received forbids the platform to inform the owner of the suspended account of the order of suspension itself). This goes on and on ...

"he issued an order "via X"" . That's because X no longer has a legal representation in Brazil, wich according to the law (Marco Civil da Internet), it's ilegal. A foreign company cannot operate in Brazil without having a legal representention here to hold accountability for its actions.

Good decision Brazil, Thank you BRAZIL 🇧🇷
There is an aspect that analyst Fabio da Silva overlooked: Brazilian law, specifically the so-called "Marco Civil da Internet" (Law 12.965 of 2014), requires internet providers to have a representative on Brazilian soil in order to operate. By closing his office in Brazil, Elon Musk voluntarily puts himself in a position of being unable to operate, while also attempting to avoid paying debts to the Brazilian government. In fact, this last point was what enabled the enforcement of legislation affecting Starlink. In Brazil, companies in the same "de facto economic group," meaning with the same controlling entity, are jointly liable for debts owed to the state and other creditors. It is worth noting that Brazilian employees laid off by X complained that not all severance payments required by Brazilian law were fully paid, at least initially.
The democratic Brazilian government has effective means to handle claims and disagreements, which do not involve disobedience to laws or judicial decisions.
Don’t be confused. The Law is one thing, the judges order is another (and it’s illegal). This “Brazilian specialist” is wrong because the law and Constitution is one thing. What this judge is doing is another… what he did hasn’t any legal provision in Brasil and is clearly politically biased as even the mainstream media already acknowledged. X indicated that it was willing to comply with the law, what X refused to was complying with this judge’s unlawful orders (censorship and prosecution of people without any criminal proof). That is it.
