It's not just Elon. Michael Shellenberger & TheFP for example has been reporting on this as well. You might not be impressed by the censorship happening in your country, but it's certainly worrying. I wouldn't know what to think if Canada banned Twitter.

- kranke155 2y agoWhile I don't agree with Brazil doing exactly what it's doing, Elon is on the wrong on this one. The law is the law. The Supreme Court has voted unanimously. If he doesn't want to offer service there due to his morals, that's up to him. Let's be honest, the Steve Bannon connection to Brazil is probably a factor here.
- Pedro_Ribeiro 2y agoHe's in the wrong morally or in terms of following the law? When the supreme court is the victim, the prosecutor, the law maker, and the law aprover all at once, the only thing you need to do to break the law is not do as they say.
- lobocinza 2y ago> You might not be impressed by the censorship happening in your country, but it's certainly worrying. For him the ends justify the means. Such people are more political and emotional than truthful and rational. When the current president, Lula, was (rightfully) arrested for corruption they put a show about right to due process. But clearly they don't care about right to due process and it's just another tool in a political toolbox.
- rbanffy 2y ago> was (rightfully) arrested Subsequent examination of the case pointed out the judge conspired with the accusation forging evidence causing many sentences, including Lula's, to be nullified. Lula's was nullified because the judge in question didn't even have jurisdiction over the case, so the forgery of evidence wasn't even litigated. The judge was subsequently named to head the Ministry of Justice for Bolsonaro, who won the election since Lula was unable to run.
- lobocinza 2y agoYou're biased. There was collusion between the judge and prosecutors but there was no forging. Evidence is indisputable, most of the accused made deals and confessed the crimes. The process was nullified by the same authoritarian and corrupt supreme court. I recommend anyone interested to read the page on Wikipedia. > The judge was subsequently named to head the Ministry of Justice for Bolsonaro, who won the election since Lula was unable to run. And so? Lula recently appointed his lawyer and minister of justice to the supreme court. Of 11 supreme court judges 7 were appointed by Lula and his party. Another one is a name close to his vice-president (Moraes). And even one of the two Bolsonaro appointees is a man that made career under Roussef.
