   "#ElonMusk’s X Backs Down in #Brazil

   In an abrupt reversal, the social network’s lawyers said it was complying with court orders that it had previously defied. Brazil’s #SupremeCourt could allow the site to return next week"

   Will you look at that

   They can whine and whine, but you can still bring #plutocrat manchildren to heel

   Thank you for showing the way Brazil

   Now if only my country, the #USA, would grow a fucking backbone and follow suit

   #Twitter #Musk

     @br00t4c i don't fucking understand why the west is so dithering and hesitant

     smack the fucking plutocrats hard

     (metaphorically, i am not talking about real physical violence here)

     of course we can talk about how they are compromised

     but everyone sees the malice in that corruption, and there is enough critical mass in realizing that, and enough political clout (if harris wins) to take off the fucking gloves already

     @rupert @torparskytt

     galaxy brains like @torparskytt don't believe in rules, and any rules are automatic 1984 censorship tyranny

     but the hilarious part is *#twitter has rules*, like enforced anti-#trans #bigotry

     torparskytt doesn't have a problem with that. it "makes sense" to him

     but if #Brazil has rules, suddenly it's "#censorship! WHARGARBBL"

     torparskytt either is extremely confused, or knows exactly the nature of the lying #fascist #freedom-destroying bullshit he's trying to sell

     @torparskytt @benroyce If a business whose only product is selling the users of it's platform to advertisers breaks the law and refuses to show up in court, what sanction would you impose?

     Elledeeay repeated this.
