couldn’t they just turn off brazil? they do this to myanmar all the time
Brazil has been on it lately. At least with sticking it to tech bros
Yeah, they found out they could win, when they stuck it to X and straight up banned them until they complied.
Just like the big tech companies have different ToS for EU consumers.
Mad respect to them, but it should be normal. But it’s not.
Also like California passing public health laws and companies deciding it is easier to comply to the entire U.S. instead of duplicating product lines.
Same State for car emission standards as well. Too bad our cities are shit holes because of all the car infrastructure though.
All the BRICS have. Brazil just stands out, because its not a country we’ve flagged as “Evil Enemy Run By Inhuman Savages”.
It also helps that unlike the R and the C in BRICS, they aren’t imperialists threatening and/or invading their neighbours. Brazil is a good world citizen.
Brazil is a good world citizen.
Uhhh, did you forget that Brazil was being run by a fascist war criminal just a short while ago?
So were lots of countries. At least they learned from their mistake, unlike the US.

If Brazil had learned from it’s mistake it WOULDN’T HAVE ALLOWED A FASCIST INTO POWER, genius.
I meant it in the “fool me once” sense. Americans went for a second helping at the trough of fascism.
Americans went for a second helping at the trough of fascism.
The US has been pro-fascist long, long before Mussolini gave it a name.
No wonder with all these off-duty cops I keep hearing about.
As long as it keeps censoring its citizens, everthing fine! 🙄
Eh?
Fact checking is censorship apparently.
The old system of using fact-checking agencies was biased, and the content they deemed false had its reach negatively impacted. They were literally the arbiters of truth, and their actions silenced their political opponents’ voices. The new system of Community Notes is superior because it requires approval from people with diverse political alignments to show a fact-check to everyone.
Because remember you need a Nazi and a tankie to agree with facts in order for it to be the real truth.
Sometimes reality doesn’t align with political views. Doesn’t mean it’s not facts
Kind weird to think that’s what’s happening tbh
I think you might be confused. They were talking about a country other than the US. 😂
Not all, India is in BRICS and they are part of the problem in the tech world.
It’s so disappointing. India has a massive tech service industry and could’ve been a force for good, but the government loves their censorship and authoritarianism too much.
The limited view I have into the CEO culture there seems even more toxic than America’s.
because its not a country we’ve flagged as “Evil Enemy Run By Inhuman Savages”.
Unless the subject is Amazon deforestation, in which case we have to stop these inhuman savages from destroying this global patrimony (mine). Please don’t ask who’s buying the cattle and soy being grown there or running the mining companies or where I got all this fertile land.
Idk which video was, but Brazil tremendously improved on the Amazon deforestation issue. https://youtu.be/6gI-wKbKfeI
Yes, a lot of things changed for the better once they got rid of Bolsonaro
Reminds me of people who said Amazon deforestation warranted a “military intervention.” Hey, be funny if trumpet added another country to his want-to-invade list, wouldn’t it? Yet folks still feel bothered when I say people in rich countries don’t really care all that much about poorer ones.
Not India afaik
Or south Africa.
Not on my 2025 bingo card I’ll admit, but I’m here for it.
And I love them for it.
Truth. Also stop deforestation
Giving 72h to reply on a Friday is a nice touch ;-)
Did not expect Brazil to be the hero we need right now, but I’m here for it.
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine Brazil apparently propping up the internet, but huge swathes of twitter shutdown when Brazil banned it a while back, for a short time.
It’s easy to be bold when the US president is weak. I don’t think they’d ban X if Trump was president at the time.
Because he’d do what about another country banning a privately owned website?
Whatever his sugar daddy tells him to do
Gonna demand that Brazil be handed over to the US the same way he’s demanding the US own the Panama Canal, Greenland, and Canada?
If only we were SO STRONG!!!
So strong he needs both hands to drink a glass of water?
Or is it the way he literally shits himself in the middle of a rally? Oh wait, of course! Cause the only thing strong about that dementia riddled moron is his stench.
Imagine looking at Trump and thinking, “Wow, him strong!” Fucking weird, I tell ya what…
Yeah, Trump is so strong and respected that everyone at the UN laughed at his stupid face when he said he’d accomplished more in 2 years than most administrations in the history of the US.
Lmfao traitor filth trump is the weakest piece of useless shit to ever disgrace the office of the presidency.
It’s easy to be bold when the US president is weak.
Vladimir Putin agrees and is greatly looking forward to it.
Hehe, I for one am going to enjoy watching the U.S. economy tank for the next four years and take the maga idiots down a notch or two.
Confessed serial rapist Donald Trump is one of the weakest presidents we’ve ever had, the fuck are you talking about. We, quite literally, have video of world leaders laughing at him to his face. Jeff Epstein’s best friend who bragged that they have the same “On the younger side” tastes didn’t accomplish a single one of his campaign promises the first time, other than tax cuts for the super rich.

Brasil, please ban facebook. First twitter then facebook. Fuck the gready corporate assholes. Someone needs to make a first step and create a precedent, we need this. Social media will be (already is) the downfall of our civilization.
Makes sense for any country tondo this because as has become clear, it doesn’t matter if you’re a democracy or a dictatorship, if you are liking musk and face or not, X and meta can and will destabilize your country and once it happens, there is nothing you can do about it except banning the entire site, which will be an unpopular choice.
Musk especially has shown to be all about himself and he’ll just push whatever political right wing party to destabilize a country.
Fuck x, fuck Facebook

Is there any way to hide embedded images on lemmy?
These are pretty annoying.
Use Lynx browser, if that’s even still a thing?
EDIT: It is!
Always one of the first things I install with a new Arch Linux install! Not because it’s useful or anything, I’m not delusional, but because it’s hella cool
A modern use case: I like RSS in my terminal so I use newsboat but hate it opening firefox and swapping me out of the terminal when I want to read more. So I have it use lynx instead.
I also have a computer without a DE that can browse the web (lynx), look at pictures (JP2a), watch movies (I don’t recall the name of the program but it converts the video to ASCII), edit word docs (take your pick), and send email (mail).
Meta’s anti-LGBT rules are closely knit to their ending the fact-checking: It is science denialism and linked to racism and vaccine skepticism.
Homosexuality and gender identity are not considered mental illnesses, Sex is not a binary, and Race is not connected to intelligence.
Bigots never liked science on these three, and now they use political power to impose their narrative.
Meta never moderated such discourse. Nor reddit nor twitter nor youtube. There was no censorship to end here. What this is, it is a free pass to punch down trans and gay people. It is incitement to violence, and Zuckerberg and Musk must go to the gallows for it.
Don’t get me started on the toxic harassment these platforms have allowed against African and Carribean reparation activists, how they have destroyed the lives of feminists, and how they have named all Palestinians terrorists.
At this point race realists and gender essentialists have ensured political and technological control of the narrative.
There is no room for debating sealioning trolls on this one. If they don’t understand the social dynamics against gender/sex/minorities at this moment, they are no better than brownshirts.
It is permabans and hooks and jabs all the way, for every single weird freak that backs this deranged hateful shit.

I agree. As a mod on LW myself I have to wonder how far the admin are willing to go to enforce such a policy. Are they really going to start removing mods for banning trolls and bigots‽
*Edit: oops, I got the posts mixed up. I thought this was the post about lemmy.world’s new policy on debating trolls instead of banning them.
“We don’t have to pretend anymore.”
According to the extrajudicial notice, this allows users to associate sexual identity to “a mental illness or abnormality” and allows “the defense of professional limitations based on gender.”
Why does anyone associate with this site. It’s beyond me.
I feel like it’s just boomers at this point
Facebook maybe, but I’m dumbfounded by how many people in my life are actively using Instagram.
Good. At least someone is saying something. More people and companies should voice their opinion.
Brazil gives Meta 72 hours to explain new fact-check policies>
Meta: we don’t have any
They do, tho. It’s community notes. If multiple people agree on a correction, especially if those people usually disagree with eachother, it becomes the note
