Didn’t think I’d see this many people defending Twitter here, even if it does reek of corruption, every other corporation or social media site follows the same rules! Twitter has been warned multiple times and this isn’t even the first time they’ve ignored warnings from other government/countries. Also it’s a corporation why defend an organization that doesn’t give two craps about you, it’s a give and take relationship, we use the service, they take our data plain and simple, you playing corporate crusader doesn’t change the fact they were warned then banned, screw elon and screw Twitter.
Brasil caraleo!
Democracy at its finest, go Brasil!
Twitter is banned in the following countries: China, North Korea, Iran, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Venezuela, Russia, Myanmar and Brazil.
They should have made it 9001 for the memes. What a ridiculous fucking thing. Good luck brazil!
how the f*** judge creates laws from his a**
don’t you need some kind of parliament for this?
I’m not talking about X, but fines for using VPNs?
is it codified anyhow or he just talks sh**?
How the fuck will they find them? It’s the whole point of vpn. Good luck making shit up idiots.
Hmmmmmmm yes, authoritarian leadership, it’s not Russia tho so world won’t do anything to help Brazilians.
And… how are that going to implement that? While the user can connect to a VPN…
Isn’t the whole point of using a VPN that a third party can’t track what you’re doing? How would the government know that you’re on X?
And elon is the bad guy here?
The fine for using Twitter is basically 3 full years of minimum wage before paying any of your bills. So realistically 30 years if you were to spend 90% of your wage on bills per month.
Seems like the lines between these companies are getting blurred, and it’s all catching up with them. The fines and asset freezes show how intertwined everything is
He’s banning X because On August 29, X denounced Moraes, saying that he ordered the ban of the platform because it “would not comply with his illegal orders to censor his political opponents.”
Sounds like this dude is corrupt AF
That would be pretty hard to enforce, lol. Like, they would need to prove it someone uses a VPN with the explicit purpose to access Twitter. They are just trying to scare people and that’s all. Don’t let any government say what you can and can’t access.
great law , twitter is just elon retweeting nazis on accident 10 times a day
So free speech is not alive and well in Brazil
Ok, actual Brazilian here and wow. Y’all are talking abou shit you know absolutely nothing about and mixing it with some very weird far-right ignorance.
First of all, no, this isn’t just an “excuse to ban twitter”. It also didn’t come out of nowhere. It’s a direct response to Musk’s deliberately disrespecting Brazilian law and sovereignty as a country. (And it has nothing to do with our “left-wing” president as I read some dumb idiots parroting, seriously, fuck you).
Twitter has been legally requested to ban accounts that have been judged by Brazilian authorities to have broken the law. Musk PERSONALLY refused to do so. Our judges than fined twitter. Musk refused to pay. THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE LEFT is issuing an arrest order against twitter’s legal representative in Brazil. In response, Musk closed twitter’s Brazilian offices and removed any legal representation from the country. Our laws are clear: you can’t operate here without proper representation. Musk disrespected Brazil’s laws every step of the way and is now playing victim like he’s the one wronged.
That’s what happened. If the account of events coming from an actual non-brainrotted Brazilian is worth anything here, great, if not go ahead and downvote me, but stop saying shit about a subject you clearly don’t understand.
This crosses the line
Really really dislike the twat waffle Musk but Brazil seems pretty F’d up too.
