Brasil has banned X and is going to fine people $8000 for using a VPN.

I would like to hear from people that live there, like @Luigi (Yes, everyone can reply to this, though).

Are you worried they are going to censor you at other places, like here? How is the situation over there?
 
The government might be able to block twatter on their backbone connection, but NOBODY will accept an $8k fine... for what??? Talking smack??? Brazil's courts are probably more corrupted than ours, so the charges may stick there.

This is why people have guns. It's to prevent a corrupt government from becoming even more stupid. This is why the liberals hate guns.

Twatter is still a bastion of liberal pro-government group think, so I find this ban amusing.
 

The ban's been upheld by the Supreme Court.

But, is it censorship or preventing disinformation? If its protecting a country from damaging it, should they - O mean gubberments be allowed to do so?
However, an application of finance 😁, influences many people to many things, whether or not its ethical.

Quote from 1984:

"Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it."

Is there a Thread anywhere On the forum, discussing Censorship?
Maybe 'we' ought to start one.
 
I'm reading online that the ban doesn't have to do with censorship, is that right?

Yes, Musk refused to removed comments that were considered hate speech.

Removing X's legal representation in Brazil, is what got it banned — every foreign company needs to have representation in Brazil in order to operate
 
If Musk really believed in free speach, he'd make this fight very public and shame the government. He has the resources to do it.

But then again, the LWO media would report it as "Billionaire Tries to Overthrow Legal Government".

If he tried that though china would fire him on the spot and most likely not only take away all of his resources but destroy his life too.

He did. He's posting his dislike and basically said he's fighting back.

I haven't been following the story but he might have tweeted or what ever a dislike of the government but behind closed doors I'll bet he's not doing a thing about it. They're all actors playing a role ffs. They'll say one thing one week, and change their minds next week. It keeps people entertained and talking about like this^...

If he really was trying to do something he would be revealing dirty secrets, and advertising petitions and sanctions against governments and stuff. He could do that without having hundreds of millions to play with just on his name and popularity alone...
