Tweeting Through Brazil's X Ban

Description

The image is a dark-mode X/Twitter screenshot from verified user Marcel van Hattem, @marcelvanhattem, posted "10h" earlier. The visible tweet reads: "In Brazil, we do not have X anymore since midnight. I am tweeting this with VPN. This tweet may cost me almost 10,000 USD according to the decision of tyrant @alexandre de Moraes, friends with @LulaOficial : every Brazilian that post on X from now on will be fined R$ 50,000" followed by "Show more". The sibling metadata notes that he is a federal deputy in Brazil and frames the issue through platform liability and speech rules; contemporary reports described Brazil's August 2024 X block and fines for VPN-based access. The technical relevance is the collision between network circumvention, platform compliance, app-store pressure, content moderation, and jurisdictional control over global social platforms.

      always has been

  5. @maggelia 1y

    It's very very important that every russian controlled news company has the absolute total ability to spread freedom of speech

    1. @desrevereman 1y

      Get off of telegram then, it's a platform for terrorists, didn't you know?

      1. @maggelia 1y

        Yea indeed like it never happened to anybody to get added to some random propaganda or scam group in telegram lol

        1. @desrevereman 1y

          Exactly, what are you doing on this awful platform when there are such glorious alternatives as whatsapp, or maybe facebook? Might try wechat, don't know if its glory is available for non-chinese citizens tho.

      2. @Hollow_Arigo 1y

        and bcs of that I like Valla!

    2. @Johnny_bit 1y

      Make sure to only follow State Approved News that totally isn't propaganda. Remember: The Party never lies to you.

    My god, how many "horoshiy russkiy" gathered here! You can search the exuses to use Yandex and work on <kacapskay> company as many as you wish, but it will never make you the part of modern democratic world. Orda - forever orda (no offence to Cental Asian descendents of Horde)

    internet shut down in brazil, whole Europe knows about. years of US and our government,together, blocking Iranian people from accessing most of the online services and nobody gives a shit

    1. dev_meme 1y

      Closer to US - higher chance that same policy will be applied to US Espicially when we’re talking about South America due to Monroe doctrine And if US fails then entire world will turn into dystopian bullshit overnight

      1. @Johnny_bit 1y

        Interestingly enough according to this tweet, censorship is prohibited by Brasilian Constitution... very interesting...

        1. dev_meme 1y

          The thing is foremost reasons for constutions to be in place is to limit government because it’s always been and remain the biggest threat to “The people”

        2. dev_meme 1y

          And then we see propaganda like this 🤡

          1. @Johnny_bit 1y

            Imagine seeing an article in a news paper the rank of The New York Times arguing against the constitution... Michael Malice said it right: "The corporate press is the enemy of the people"

            1. dev_meme 1y

              Tho I would look for a line when it’s corpo propaganda and when corporations converge with political powers into single super-corrupt entity

              1. dev_meme 1y

                Basically, this is what CCP was doing for decades by forcing anywhere bigger than medium companies present locally to have CCP-representatives in top ranks

              2. @Johnny_bit 1y

                public-private partnership.

            1. @Johnny_bit 1y

              FUN Times...

      2. @callofvoid0 1y

        Same policy only applies if same guy conquers US things like this happen to countries around US exactly to avoid them from turning into a threat against US

    2. dev_meme 1y

      This is exact reason why I included reference to single US law holding Internet freedom of speech for us for decades
