Between Elon deciding who to block (and he blocks quiet often) and democratically elected governments deciding, I prefer the one that's got at least some checks

Between Elon deciding who to block (and he blocks quiet often) and democratically elected governments deciding, I prefer the one that's got at least some checks and balances.
- inglor_cz 2y agoI don't. Governments are very powerful and the necessary checks and balances may be either nonexistent or weak, or corrupt, or very slow. Individual rights should be safeguarded against abuse as much as possible. Maybe it means that Musk should block less, but it certainly means that governments shouldn't muzzle people too easily. In this case, an entire country of 200 million is threatened with massive fines for the horrible crime of using VPN to access a social network. Yeah, Brasil really makes a good member of BRICS with this judgment.
