Brasil has Banned X

[BlastTyrant]

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...

But he is? He has been doing this the whole time, from reporting zuckerberg to the Brazil fiasco, Musk is putting it all on his page and calling it out.
Musk isn't going to just post things without verifying and authenticating it first, if you follow him on the platform you will see he actually puts a lot in the spot light that would get normal people banned.

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.

Good post.

In my opinion, Political parties always see the talking points of opposing parties as disinformation. Also the fact-checkers are usually biased.

They like the media if it is biased in their direction. If it is the opposite it is disinformation.

That is why you need both side and the best argument wins.

Banning it because you consider it hate speech is worthless if you dont ban the hate speech on your own side.


The supreme court in the US decided that affirmative action is racially discriminating. Do the leftist in the US want to ban everybody that promotes this on X and elsewhere because it is "proven" hate speech? They still dont consider it hate speech and that is the case for basically everybody in one way or the other that is political.

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

They get censored, because I connot see some posts. I have to click on "show censored posts", if you want to see specific posts that contain insults.

The hate speech was also not banned before Elon Musk took over. They banned the hate speech on one political side. The left side could use hateful speech.

So I rather prefer free speech than biased speech.

I can give an example what was not banned:

This woke movement that white people, men and heterosexual have the power, therefore they are discriminating and evil is nothing else that creating a scapegoat and that is hate speech. It was just allowed hate speech, because that is hate speech that was supporting their side.

And that woke principle is the same pricinple that other countries use for their propaganda against the USA. The USA has the power, therefore they are evil and discriminating.

Biden, Kamala Harris and the rest of the leftist in the USA are just too stupid to realize it that they cut themselves in the foot with their stupid ideology that divides countries and spread racial hatred, gender hatred and hatred based on sexual orientation.

On the long run they are viewed as the most discriminating people in the world.

So that will be a rude awakening of left Americans, because they want to be the victims but they are the most discriminating people according to their own ideology.

If they are the oppressor, they suddenly dont believe in wokeness anymore (that is my experience with left Americans).
