Brazil Supreme Court upholds judge's decision to block X
A Brazilian Supreme Court panel has unanimously upheld the decision of one of its justices to block billionaire Elon Musk’s social media platform X nationwide. That's according to the court’s website.DAVID BILLER (AP News)
A Venn diagram of people who’re outraged that a judge banned Xitter and were similarly infuriated by Lula being imprisoned by a biased judge* who colluded with prosecutors to convict him before the 2018 election and then was appointed Bolonaro’s Justice Minister immediately after is just two circles.
*According to the Brazilian Supreme Court that vacated the charges.
A lot of people who are up in arms over Brazil banning Xitter aren’t acknowledging the fact that the country cast off a military dictatorship in 1985 and Elon’s openly allied with the neofascist who tried to restore it, with help from Elon Social, just two years ago. Pretty unique situation.
That judge may well have a beef with Musk because of his intransigence but the stakes are much higher than that.

On the #Brazil ban: I'm kind of surprised the joinmastodon website doesn't have a section welcoming Brazilian users, showing them the best servers. If you filter on 'South America', you get one (yes, 1) server suggestion. I've seen lists showing many more.
Also, where is Eugen in the media? Bluesky boasts 1 million sign ups in the last three days. Where is Mastodon in the headlines? Surely *now* is the time to introduce people to this network? After all, *now* is the time tens of millions of people are looking for a new home.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: establishing a network effect (that is, people being on a platform that you want to follow) is the single most determinant for people bothering to join a social media network and staying there. Moments like these come by rarely and should be snatched up as if they were candy.
Hard to disagree with this action. The Brazilian authorities are not making unreasonable requests, but because they’d negatively affect the Brazilian far right, Musk refuses to allow the company to take them.
This isn’t about free speech; it’s about sovereignty.
