  To be fair I don’t support the VPN thing — people should be free to use VPNs.

  “Fighting back” by punishing Brazilians.
  - gigatexal 2y ago
    Punishing Brazilians by not letting them access Twitter? Hah. Our definitions of punishment are ice ages apart. I’m waiting for Twitter to fail once and for all. Let all social networks go the way of the dodo.

      Dictatorship is awesome while it happens to align with your dubious priorities. You should try to think ahead though

        dictatorship? nothing is stopping Brazilians from posting on any other social network that exists or starting their own Brazilian version of twitter... people think before twitter free speech didn't exist or something

        What if they ban everything on the internet the way North Korea does? Would they be still free to start their own internet?

        What if I wake up a giant cockroach? What if tomorrow I win the lottery? How does the North Korea question follow? Are you insinuating that banning Twitter after breaking Brazilian law is some kind of slippery slope to banning all networks in Brazil turning it into a no-internet-having hellscape? That’s a bit extreme no? That’s not what’s happening here. Twitter and Elon apologists seem to think so. I don’t. As it stands now there are many alternatives for one to get their social media fix. Elon has learned that in the country where some 20% of his users are that laws exist, judges too, and he and his companies should abide the law. Who does he think he is? Trump? And able to flout all laws and things because he’s rich and powerful?

  How are they fighting Elon Musk by forcing him to ban political figures in Brazil, him not complying and then censoring the whole site?
