Dictatorship is awesome while it happens to align with your dubious priorities. You should try to think ahead though

  dictatorship? nothing is stopping Brazilians from posting on any other social network that exists or starting their own Brazilian version of twitter... people think before twitter free speech didn't exist or something

    What if they ban everything on the internet the way North Korea does? Would they be still free to start their own internet?

      What if I wake up a giant cockroach? What if tomorrow I win the lottery? How does the North Korea question follow? Are you insinuating that banning Twitter after breaking Brazilian law is some kind of slippery slope to banning all networks in Brazil turning it into a no-internet-having hellscape? That’s a bit extreme no? That’s not what’s happening here. Twitter and Elon apologists seem to think so. I don’t. As it stands now there are many alternatives for one to get their social media fix. Elon has learned that in the country where some 20% of his users are that laws exist, judges too, and he and his companies should abide the law. Who does he think he is? Trump? And able to flout all laws and things because he’s rich and powerful?
