Brazil doesn’t want its citizens criticizing the government.

Brazilian politicians are afraid of being called out by everyday citizens.

Sounds like that police officer in the UK talking about arresting Americans because he didn't like people exercising their first amendment.

[kennyleo]

That's rich coming from a country with massive cyber fraud.

I love how we define miss information as whatever we don’t like

[FelixFederov-uy]

Did you miss the letter that Elon posted where the court ordered him to ban accounts of members of parliament and not tell them. He rightly said No.

People get alarmed when it's Brazil stopping a media but they are OK when it's Europe or the US doing the same or worse.

I see VPNs getting alot of business in Brazils future.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol Brazil being Brazil
Dictator will be a Dictator

One thing Brazil forgets….Elon usually doesn’t care. My guess. He’ll let it go and remove star link himself in the name of fighting tyranny.

[mikalecross]

Brazil should just be honest that they don't like their citizens hearing anything that the government doesn't like

[onemetre]

Brazil, with elections, needs to be able to manage the publics perception and X won't be doing that...

[kevinsmith]

Sounds like more of a loss for Brazil.

[Steve-bfuy]

Lead with that last line. Brazil froze one company’s assets to put pressure on an unrelated company with common shareholders/owners. That’s extortion.

I'm Brazilian and I can say Brazil isn't more a democracy, our dictator is called Alexandre de Moraes. Today, the brazilian people is sad, and think about our example, never vote in left, they always say defending democracy, but them are first to destroy the democracy.

[MustardSeed]

What do they think they are? WE ban interruption of free speech by Brazilian government.

[dottto]

I don't think musk will care about losing a few million.

Listen to Tucker interviewing Mike Benz a couple of days ago. It's eye-opening how connected all these things are worldwide regarding censorship.

Doing the right thing will cost you. Do not compromise. All of us will be judged on what we did.
