Congrats Brazil
“Brazil sees massive drop in alt right hate speech”
finally some fucking good news

true, but they had a local presence for reasons that benefited them; legal, operational, commercial, strategic, whatever. So I’ll take it as good news.
But it isn’t. Now people get to spread misinformation to Brazilians with no repercussions.
and do you think there were repercussions before?
whatsapp does this misinformation job immensely better
and do you think there were repercussions before?
For X? Sure, that’s why they’re leaving in the first place - by not complying to the judge’s orders, they’d surely get slapped with fines and such. As a company, it makes sense to leave and avoid being accountable, but given the influence they (sadly) still have in the media, avoiding those repercussions and letting bad actors do their thing, they’re adding gasoline to the burning world.
The fact that Whatsapp is more popular in Brazil than X is beside the point.
They can just block the IP in Brazil too
Complete X ban doesn’t seem too far-fetched to me after this, as they have closed the offices, they won’t be able to moderate stuff…

Say that to governments that wants to locally ban tiktok.
Because it led to eventual ban https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/30/brazil-orders-suspension-of-elon-musks-x.html

Lucky for them
One down couple hundred more to go.
Well-played, Brazil
GOOD. Elon doesnt get to taunt us with a coup unpunished.
You apparently forget he said Twitter needed major before he bought it.
It’s by design. 🤦🏼♂️
i know and this is why banning it is a good thing. fuck twitter.
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.
That sounds very “on brand” for the company these days.
Should journalists start referring to the platform as “the far-right hate speech platform formerly known as Twitter”?
Too wordy. Try: Naxi.
I like it. I really enjoy calling it Xitter though.
Brazil does not fuck around. They famously jailed several Microsoft execs when they didn’t hand over some emails a few years ago.
Edit: Skype data not emails and one exec
Excellent
I would not mind if my countries’ judges grew the same kind of brass balls that the Brazilain Judge sports.
So Bolsonaro won’t get elected again, uh.
I’m surprised to be saying this but thank you Elon Muppet.
afaik he’s still barred from running for office until 2030, as a result of undermining the validity of the electoral process - the same process that once elected him btw…
He’ll be 75yo in '30. Still viable as a candidate.
And, for '26, he’s still the one deciding who’s going to run for his party. One of the options is his wife Michelle Bolsonaro, a vulture from the same flock as her husband.
Now with Twitter out of the equation* they’ll have a harder reaching their base.
EDIT: actually scrap that. It’s only its offices, the service will be still available. Fuck it, now I’m sour.
Lol they need to shut down in Indonesia as well Twitter regularly accept censorship request from Indonesian government
Good for Brazilians I guess
