Wait. They banned the entire country of Brazil from using X?

Or am I misunderstanding?

Huh. Thanks for the info.

"until it complies with all court orders and pays existing fines"

So basically never.

I can't rightly commented on the rest of that situation. o7

@ezlin @Gargron It is a big country, Musk might decide that making a deal is better than losing the business, especially if defiance leads other major countries to cut him off. Or not, he is a stubborn person.

Yeah. Stubborn, arrogant, petulant. So it's difficult to say what he'll do. :blobcatgooglyshrug:

Yes, they ordered to block access to the service nationwide and impose huge fines for citizens trying to circumvent the censorship.

@ezlin Brazil banned X from being used in the country, at least temporarily. @anna summarized it in English. In short, there's this judicial process going on (the details are not public), apparently X was not abiding to judicial orders, and then it closed its Brazilian branch to try and evade the consequences. The judicial process is about X providing safe haven to Brazilians who are suspected to be attempting / have attempted against Brazilian democracy.

@lffontenelle @ezlin Yes. Twitter/X closed their Brazilian office and forfeited appointing a Brazilian representative to receive and comply with any decisions from Brazilian authorities. That’s required by law if you’re operating a service on Brazilian internet. It has a lot to do with the aftermath of Jan 8—it was similar to the Jan 6 U.S. Capitol attack.

This news article compares it with Telegram, which was also temporarily blocked until compliant (in Portuguese): uol.com.br/tilt/noticias/redac
