Can confirm that it’s on again:

If the Brazilian government had actual laws against the issue with Xitter /'ʃɪtə/ - i.e. the fact that it’s a Nazi nest - it wouldn’t be on again. However Moraes did it through some bloody convoluted way, that stinks “ackshyually” from a distance; first obsessing over that Monark clown, then the representative, then a fine that amounts to pocket money for both sides. As a result, it’s on again, “yay” /s

The key here is that legislations (not just the Brazilian one; I’m talking on general grounds) need to distinguish between

• a platform that transparently conveys the discourse of its users, thus not being responsible for what they say; and
• a platform that opaquely “suggests” you what you “should” be seeing, through an algorithm that you cannot reasonably modify, thus being liable for what it shows you

Faecesbook and YouTube fall into the later, but Xitter specially so, as Elon Muppet’s personal soapbox.

So, let’s give a round of claps to Dickhead for the Effort and Good Intentions® /s.

“By ‘free speech,’ I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law,”

Cut off the crap. You were probably babbling this on the grounds of that “first amendment” crap that holds no grounds outside USA.

Bolsonaro and his supporters praised Musk for refusing to block accounts

Of course he did. He might not be himself eligible any more, but odds are that whoever will compete for the Republic’s Party Liberal Party in 2026 will be basically his meatpuppet. People often compare this shite with Trump, but they forget to mention that, unlike Trump, Bolsonaro is not braindead.

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva previously said that businesses in Brazil must follow local laws and that the country is “not obliged to put up with Musk’s far-right ideology just because he is rich.”

Lula, you’re only there because you’re less worse than Bostonaro. Now go drink some booze and shut up.

Fox let back into the coop

Fast forward a few tears and they’ll see
