Elon Musk announced on Saturday that the social media platform X would close its operations in Brazil "effective immediately" due to what it called "censorship orders" from the Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes.

Earlier this year, Moraes ordered X to block certain accounts, as he investigated so-called "digital militias" that have been accused of spreading fake news and hate messages during the government of the far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro.

Bye, Elon! Europe next. :jonny:

He just fired the brazilian staff and claimed that he's being censored

 

The site and app are still online available to use

Im confused by the comments, operations usually only mean that they close their offices

 

Not that twitter is banned in the whole country

he's been firing the brazilian office bit by bit, and there are reports from january 2023 saying that only a few workers in the sales department remained in the company. if anything, he took too long to finally shut down the operation, and is blaming the Supreme Court to pose as a political force lol

And westerners need to act fast regarding people like Musk. It is clear as a day he is poised to sell himself as a successor of the likes of Trump. He was always in the political arena, but he is getting way more explicit and public about it, mobilizing his digital cult against everything the left does. People should seriously quit X if they don't share the beliefs, because it's a platform for him and people like himself. I can see this man being president someday and he seems ten times worse than Trump

Everyone is starting to migrate to Threads. I would get so sick scrolling down my timeline on Twitter, I just wanted to read pop news, but every other post was political. I said enough and deactivated my account this week and I'm actually enjoying Threads. Just hoping that once the Elon fanboys realize their audience is mostly bots, they'll migrate to Truth social media and not Threads. Already blocked a few accounts and bots on Threads so it's already happening, the general algorithm just hasn't been able to limit their visibility. Eventually Threads will be what Twitter was between 2014 & EARLY 2016.

Elon from my understanding can't be president ever

 

He was not born in the US

 

But he is definitely dangerous and has too much power
