X says it is closing operations in Brazil due to judge's content orders
X, owned by Elon Musk, claims Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes threatened to arrest one of the company's legal representatives if it did not remove content.
Musk has called the Moraes’ decisions regarding X “unconstitutional.”
Who would know more about Brazil's constitution? One of its Supreme Court Judge or Elon Musk?
Insane how the Republicans made 'unconstitutional' into another meaningless buzzword in order to try and dodge the responsibility for Jan 6th.
They had made it into a meaningless buzzword well before that.
Shut up! He singlehandedly invented Tesla, PayPal and SpaceX. He litters the space with most satellites of everybody. He brought freedom of speech back to Twitter and renamed it to a more SEO friendly X. He also supports the greatest president and best white male specimen DT. So let our overlord Musk be.
I’m not sure he means Brazil’s constitution.
Musk has called the Moraes’ decisions regarding X “unconstitutional".
Crazy how a foreign businessman dares making such claims. He really thinks he is the king of the world
Great! Now lets ALL adopt whatever policies that forced this action worldwide!
Aaah then it is not a retreat it is just an excuse to fire people and whine about regulations
thank you very much, bye 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Congratulations to our Brazilian friends here on Lemmy for their most excellent achievement. Bravo and well done.
Can Brazil rent out that judge to Europe for a Sec?
Offices, it (Xitter) will be still available in Brazil.
Aw.
Meh, only the office closed, the site is still accessible. Here's to hoping the escalation continues and xitter ends fully blocked
You mean twitter (now X)?
I hate Musk as much as anyone, but it's a shit decision by Brazil
Earlier this year, Moraes ordered X to block certain accounts, as he investigates so-called “digital militias” that have been accused of spreading fake news and hate messages during the government of far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro.
These people are the equivalent of Trump's cult followers, although I'm not on Twitter myself I am sure they are spreading fake news and any fight against it is a win in my point of view. I myself see these Bolsonaro lovers all the time and it's crazy how they are brainwashed. I know plenty of people who didn't take the COVID vaccine because of him.
