Brazil judge, Musk standoff intensifies as Starlink assets frozen

I don't think you can claim freedom of speech in another country dude

Musk losing the plot everywhere. Freedom of speach does not translate to freedom to tell lies and make up bs.

Far left Governments are you surprised?

Musk will shut down your account in a heartbeat if you disagree with him. Free speech indeed.

Just because someone owns a company doesn't translate he/she oversee daily operations especially in a big company like X. However, with small companies it's all hands on. Therefore, Elon might not be even aware of a consumers account shutdown.

Elon Musk is a well known micromanager and has taken pride on making public that a lot of measures used to censor users in twitter exist only because he personally think they should be censored.

A very clear example about censorship based exclusively on his personal opinion

Musk prides himself on being "in the know" on all things that concern his company.

Whatever your political persuasions, how refreshing for a judicial system that a common sense approach.

Twitter is a different company from SpaceX. They are unrelated. The judge knows this. Holding 1 company accountable for the actions of any other company makes no sense. It is like imprisoning a sister when the brother did something illegal.

Musk isn't the sole owner of either of these companies. Harming the other owners doesn't make sense and is likely unconstitutional in Brazil.

Events in France may require Web 2.0 services to end functionality there whilst the Telegram case plays out, and Musk may have to do the same with X, Starlink and Tesla in Brazil. The software that can do this, rapidly, inlcuding VPN workaround blocks, may be worth the attention of VC capital.

It's interesting how the strongest democracy in South America doing to X what the strongest democracy in North America is trying to do to TikTok, and France is trying to do to Telegram is treated so differently by some media and politicians.

I'm glad you agree that the US is a stronger democracy than Canada, Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua.
