Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 Meanwhile in Brasil... Brazil top court threatens to suspend X operations in latest twist of ongoing feud WWW.NBCNEWS.COM The order is the latest in an ongoing clash with Musk over free speech, accounts associated with the far-right and misinformation on the platform. Quote A Brazilian Supreme Court justice on Wednesday threatened to shut down the local operations of X, formerly Twitter, unless its billionaire owner Elon Musk names a legal representative in Brazil within 24 hours. The order from Justice Alexandre de Moraes is the latest development in an ongoing feud with Musk’s platform. The company clashed with de Moraes earlier this year over free speech, accounts associated with the far-right and misinformation on the platform, and it claims to be a victim of censorship. Earlier this month, X said it was removing all remaining Brazil staff in the country “effective immediately,” saying de Moraes had threatened its legal representative in the country with arrest. The Supreme Court on Wednesday notified X of de Moraes’ order in a reply to a post from the company’s global government affairs account on the social platform. “In case of non-compliance with the determination, the decision could bring about suspension of the social media network’s activities in Brazil,” the court said in a statement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Please do it. Sadly I'm stuck on Twitter because there is just too much academic AI research discussion there. I tried leaving back when Musk took over, but not enough people came with. Anything that helps force people to leave to something else would be so welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finaljedi Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I feel like fining people accessing via vpn is one of those things that's easier said that done. I'd assume anyone using a VPN service would be smart enough to use a foreign one that doesn't keep user logs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S3xB0t Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 It’s probably ignorant to ask this question, but would it really be so bad to tighten up our free speech laws a little bit? I abhor the vitriol that spills from such human garbage as neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and MAGA asswipes. Why should we as a society have to tolerate that? It’s not helpful. It’s not discourse. It’s holding us all back to let that toxicity foul up the airwaves and cables that bring us content. Perhaps someone more well versed in civil rights can explain it to me.

Uaarkson Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 People should be able to say whatever the fuck they want however the fuck they want to say it, as long as it isn’t a threat and isn’t actively harming someone, and it doesn’t matter if you think it’s productive discourse or not. The freedom to say it is key 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
