   X wasn't banned in Brazil because of censorship. It was because Musk refused to abide by a court order to block accounts linked to the invasion of the Brazilian Parliament, Supreme Court and Presidential Palace in 2023. Musk preferred to close his Brazilian offices instead of helping to catch those who tried to overthrow a democratic elected government. If someone tells you otherwise, they're either dishonest or misinformed.

     @nande Censoring bad people is still censorying. You can argue it is justified and moral to do, but you cant say it "isnt censorship".

     @freemo Musk didn't have any problems with blocking these other guys. I wonder why.

     @freemo you can't have criminals spreading misinformation and attempting coups in broad daylight. That is not okay and it doesn't serve the public interest.

     @nande All good, all im saying is technically its still about censorship. Brazils govt wanted something censored, musk didnt want it censored. Im mot saying musk was in the right, or that brazil was. Just saying it was fubdementally still about censorship.

     @freemo I wasn't referring to you personally or trying to sound aggressive. I mean the Supreme Court ruling was due to Musk disobeying a just order to ban accounts related to Brazil's attempted coup last year - which makes it much less about censorship and much more grounded than abusive orders from foreign governments that he had no problem implementing.

     @nande I wouldnt doubt for a second he is playing some sort of game. Either he wants attention and free advertising or wants to save some money.

     @freemo sure, but - also technically -the whole of Twitter wasn't blocked because of those unbanned accounts. It was because, after that, Musk closed its offices here and refused to name a legal representative in the country. I do think that Musk provoked this situation so he could fire some people and still pose as a hero.
