Twitter is BANNED in Brazil

OP reminder we always post the non-paywalled version so your readers will not have to do extra work to enjoy your post.

[quote] After the Brazilian Supreme Court’s X account posted on Wednesday that Mr. Musk had 24 hours to name a new representative in Brazil, Mr. Musk responded with an image of toilet paper with Justice Moraes’s name on it.

oh, god, how fucking stupid

He runs the business like a petulant toddler.

It's a good start. These broligarchs think they are above the law and untouchable...now the chickens are coming home to roost.

He likes to pose as a “free speech” champion, but his actual cause is fascism.

he's ugly to boot

What about VPNs?

r8 What is your question, exactly?

"He likes to pose as a “free speech” champion..."

Elon's freedom of speech, not yours or mine.

And has thus committed the ONE unforgivable DL sin, r7!!

We put up with bullshit Supreme Court judges in the US too

Musk has entered the chat

I wish he did, r13!

We would LIGHT him UP, right!

I wonder if he's hung coz he's so full of himself

To get around blocks of online services, people have long used VPNs, the privacy software that can make internet traffic appear as though it was coming from a different country.

Yet Justice Moraes wants to prevent that. He ordered Apple and Google to find a way to prevent popular VPN apps from allowing users to access X, and he proposed the nearly $9,000 daily fine against individuals who did so.

“This is the first time they asked for VPN blocking. This is something unprecedented,” Paula Bernardi, a Brazil-based policy adviser at the Internet Society, which pushes for an open internet. She said the Brazilian government could potentially now ask VPN providers to reveal who used their services to access X. “That’s going to be a very heated debate,” she said.

He looks like a plucked chicken in OP's pic.

He's just mad because someone talked him into getting a Brazilian without telling him what it was.

So is Donald...🍄

He's always looked like a plucked chicken to me.

One of the multitude of women who have reason to know said he is, R15.

I can’t remember said it, though. Grimes, maybe.

Musk is 4chan in human form, a soft, pasty basement troll who lucked into money.

Devastating, absolutely devastating. We must stand in solidarity with hung Brazilian men. A DL virtual telethon should be held to ensure that they find another social media platform on which to share their big cocks with the world.

Oh yea, and free expression, democracy, human rights and all that.

Did that asshole Glenn Greenwald leave Brazil? He’s still posting.

Is anyone actually paying attention? According to R16, Brazil wants "Big Brother" type access to its citizens: [quote] “This is the first time they asked for VPN blocking. This is something unprecedented,” Paula Bernardi, a Brazil-based policy adviser at the Internet Society, which pushes for an open internet. She said the Brazilian government could potentially now ask VPN providers to reveal who used their services to access X. “That’s going to be a very heated debate,” she said. I know we all hate Elon, but in this case, his pigheadedness might be for a good cause. The Brazilian government is basically a communist government that wants the right to spy on its citizens. A VPN is purchased specifically for privacy, and what they were demanding from X was completely unethical. You don't have to like the man to appreciate that he's not willing to sell your IP address to the government. Brazil=Big Brother.

R25, most dataloungers are too stupid to understand that it’s possible for bad things to happen to Elon and those bad things affect society negatively as well.

American DLers, especially, are prone to viewing everything through a political-religious lens - the political party as church. With that world view, apostates abound.

Is he cut or uncut

If Trump were a techbro (or someone with delusions of same), he'd be Musk.
