> He still gets to shout about being silenced by evil socialist Brazil, even if he’s capitulated. Socialist? This victim narrative is bizarre. There is almost no one outside of Brazil who supports what Moraes is doing, most people inside Brazil are against it (even on the face of it, Lula only won by a hair and half of the population are Bolsonaristas, and a significant number of the rest have free speech as a principle), and more than twice as many Senators in Brazil are for impeachment than are against*. Pretending that this is some crusade by the evil right wing of the world directed by their leader Elon Musk against the socialism is bizarre, bad faith, and encouraged by anyone who supports the ban. > He still gets to shout about being silenced by evil socialist Brazil, even if he’s capitulated. Brazil didn't silence Musk, who can speak and be heard wherever he wants, whenever he wants. Brazil silenced Brazilians, and cut them off from the world. Musk is just some dickhead whose business has been going extremely well over the past decade or two, and is not the world representative of free speech. He's a pretense whose use by antidemocratic forces almost managed the achievement of banning all VPN usage in Brazil. I wonder who is going to get the contract to build the Great Brazilian Firewall, seeing as the twitter ban was spotty and VPNs were still a way around it? Will it be a US company?
