With X banned in Brazil, its users carve out new digital homes

Let’s ban X everywhere.

X destiny is to follow Orkut and ICQ. According to CoPilot: Before Elon Musk rebranded Twitter to X, he purchased the company for $44 billion in October 2022. However, after the rebranding and various changes, the value of X has significantly decreased. As of recent estimates, X is now worth about $12.3 billion, which is roughly 71.5% less than its original value.

Banana republic.

Europe and the UK are next. And I hope the US doesn't end up with Trump again (although Harris is not a better option) or Musk will turn "the land of the free" into "the land of the fake news".

Good on Brazil Supreme Court to stand up to Musk instead of treating him like a King! Musk needs to be held accountable as he is not above the law of any given country! If billionaires start acting like the way Musk is then the average and poor citizens suffer the most as their life is made a living hell!

As billionaire Elon Musk's clash with a Brazilian Supreme Court justice came to a head last week, there were legal twists, insults, ultimatums, defiance and then, finally, ?????

thousands of Brazilians took to the streets to protest censorship of X.

LOL

seems that some posters on here prefer dictators and authoritarianism

“Good morning everyone,” Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva posted Sunday on Bluesky and Threads. “What do you think of it here?”

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand what’s going on here! It’s apparent now these leftists government want to control every faculty of our lives well except whom you should love. What a shame for Brazil government using law fare to drive out private companies out of business. Unfortunately, I thought lawfare is Joes/ Kamalas specialty but it seems every leftist government have adopted the same strategy.

no we are against disinformation disguised as free speech . Musk doesnt give a shite about free speech, he wants spread disinformation without consequence. Disinformation is a cheap but dangerous tool. wars have started millions have died as a result

Let’s ban X everywhere

I ran that through the Liberal Translator and it came out: We should silence opinions we don’t agree with.

"no we are against disinformation disguised as free speech . Musk doesnt give a shite about free speech, he wants spread disinformation without consequence. Disinformation is a cheap but dangerous tool. wars have started millions have died as a result."wtfjapan

And what do you call what those mainstream media CNN ,MSNBC spew every day? Real news or disinformation. Wakeup! Whoever you are journalism died longtime ago. They used to accuse bloggers for disinformation now they have gone a step further accusing social medias what's next?

Nice read.

This is a blatant example of suppression of speech. No matter where we side politically, we should all push back against this.

Hopefully more countries start banning X.

It’s a breeding ground for pedophiles, terrorist, and extremist politics promoting misinformation.

Um no. This is a blatant example of one specific private social media company being banned in one country for contravening their laws. Other platforms and other countries are available for you to say whatever you want, as long as it's not against the rules/laws.

This is a blatant example of suppression of speech. 

Just like my mum suppressed my speaking as a young kid when I said something nasty about my sister. I got a smack on my arm. I sometimes wonder what kind of punishment some "free speakers" should get.

"The Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has left the board of Bluesky, the decentralised social network he helped start, and encouraged users to remain on his first site, now owned by Elon Musk and called X....In 2022, he called the multibillionaire the “singular solution I trust” for the future of Twitter,..."

Musk is trying to put his thumb on the scales of Brazilian justice. Musk is not Brazilian. Musk doesn't get the right to free speech in Brazil.

Good for Brazil, good for Turkey...

Yes, but I'll bet the government didn't intervene and ban you from speaking at all. Any repercussions Musk gets should be from consumers, not the government.

Spreading political propaganda, recruiting and radicalizing extremists, luring children from the internet is NOT freedom of speech.

You want to talk about suppression of speech but do you really have to be reminded about how Musk banned and censored comments/interviewers who asked made posts and asked questions he did not like or disagreed with? Musk's existence is just to cause political dumpster fires in other countries and watch how long the fire burns and grows

Free expression has limit. The US should try it sometime you will have less fake news.

People talking on here like Musk himself is single-handedly spreading all the fake news. News flash fake news has been around even before the internet; it was just called propaganda. I had a discussion with a Brazilian person (a random person from Brazil that wanted to make clear why banning X was in the interest of the Brazilian people). He said that because Brazil was a young democracy, only 30 years since they became a democracy, any kind of hate speech would be detrimental to the country's overall moral. But here is the thing moving to any other platform doesn't guarantee that those types of fake news will no longer find their way to the impressionable eyes of the Brazilian public. Also, a 9,000 dollar fine is insane! Treating grown adults like children will always leave a bad taste in my mouth, but hey, I am not Brazilian, nor do I plan to ever live there, so I wish the people of Brazil good luck in this ever-changing world we live in.
