the mental health increase in brazil will be crazy

[rewe]

Just a note on the fine:
Minimum wage here is about $250, so $9000 would be life ending to 2/3 of the population

[wampXs]

Bad timing for the video, as Starlink has gone back and accepted the X ban on their networks.

[vaice]

Update from a Brazilian: The judge in question reversed his decision to fine everyone using a VPN after receiving significant pushback for this illegal ruling, which violates several Brazilian laws. He also rescinded his previous order for Apple and Google to ban all VPN apps from their stores.

A little update, the brazilian supreme court (STF) and Anatel (federal internet and communication department) are suffering numerous hacker and ddos attacks since the twitter ban.

[mateusvmv]

Starlink has already sent e-mails to customers in Brazil, stating that they'll keep offering their services for free

[papercliprain]

Can you imagine if the US banned a foreign made social media website? That would be crazy.

[dream_weaver]

the fact that even Elon still calls it Twitter

[Alanis]

Again, people are saying this is the end of twitter and bluesky will be the next thing

Nothing ever happens

[_soyoki]

- nothing ever happens
- sir Twitter has been down for 3 days and there are only tweets in English on the twitter
- *turning on VPN* NOTHING ever happens 🇧🇷

[a.]

In the post-truth era, the line between censorship and eliminating misinformation hardpoints is much harder.

[grwnup]

People: Pay huge taxes to support and run govt
Govt: Lemme read through ur data so I can own you

[doomoftheend]

Why does Elon not act the same towards China? Why does Twitter (shadow) ban posts?

[Verssales]

As a Brazilian that has a starlink, I'm still concerned. starlink has many ground stations that are required to give us internet access, so if the government lock down these stations I THINK, that I might lose access...

[CyberDruga]

Brazilian here. The block is dogshit, as a mere DNS change or usage of DNS over HTTPS will allow you to use Twitter, and because of that thousands of us Brazilians are still accessing Twitter oppenly, even politicians. Honestly this block is totally stupid, and I don't think the fine will be applied broadly. Brazil has already a deep history with protests and if the fine were to be applied to everyone shit would go wild in here. In my opinion the fine is gonna be applied only to politicians and/or political people

[bleudauvergne]

For those wondering there's no voting them out because they aren't elected and stay there until they retire.
They also can send to and free from jail anyone they want, so good luck trying to propose an impeachment without being arrested for "attacks against democracy", whatever that means.

[Kublika]

After losing access to Twitter and leaving home after 18 years I got a job, a girlfriend and my mental health has never been better! Thank you Moraes!

[Lucas-hrmj]

everyone in brazil has an international correspondent that is handling their twitter accounts, i just hired mine

[Jetpackbarry]

very bad take. elon has no problem complying with the far right minister of India and many more, in fact, the number of accounts blocked or deleted due to government demands has increased since he took over. also, elon is in fact interested in the brazilians mines and in the market monopoly of internet access in the amazon region (where he also aids illegal operations by providing starlink services)

[TurtleChad]

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