> This all started because Elon Musk actively chose to give voice to specific known terrorists
Source? They appear to be public figures, including a sitting senator. If they were terrorists why weren't they arrested and their phones taken away? Instead we get secret orders to censor. Curious to see your research on this.
The judge seems to have a history of calling things fake news because he's corrupt, there's no due process, he's the censorship czar.
> what do you expect when you refuse to obey a court order? Arrests happen for that in America too
When Iran or China does things like this, it's because Iran and China are bad. When Twitter stands up for censorship, it's "shut up and obey the local authority, just follow the orders".
Recent example of Iran where the tone of the comments is not "you deserve what you get for not following the law"
I really can't speak of Iran or China. Every situation needs to be considered separately, and I only looked into Brazil.
"Sitting senator" is no disqualifier; from what we've seen in America, we should even expect to see some politicians such behind calls for political violence. I'll admit I didn't try to go through every single account that was ordered to be banned; I stopped when I found clear calls for violence (even Musk himself does that with a very minimal veneer of deniability).
If "don't organize political violence" counts as censorship, then I embrace censorship as a virtue.
> Justice Moraes blocked X in Brazil because Mr. Musk has refused to comply with court orders to remove certain accounts on the social network, and then closed X’s office in the country. Mr. Musk has criticized Justice Moraes for months, accusing him of illegally censoring free speech. The justice has said Mr. Musk is obstructing his work of removing hate speech and attacks on democracy from the Brazilian internet.
Rightful or not, a private company has no authority over a foreign government, and Brazil government has all the rights to do whatever they want within their country's borders.
Musk is no information robin hood, he's just an arrogant rich infant.
