I'm thankful for Sunshine for posting this. She's a real one!
And I'm also thankful for those who have upvoted this post instead of some generic US politics one. Gives some very needed diversity to the front page.
Proceeds to bring up the US anyway
Makes sense for any country tondo this because as has become clear, it doesn't matter if you're a democracy or a dictatorship, if you are liking musk and face or not, X and meta can and will destabilize your country and once it happens, there is nothing you can do about it except banning the entire site, which will be an unpopular choice.
Musk especially has shown to be all about himself and he'll just push whatever political right wing party to destabilize a country.
Fuck x, fuck Facebook
Calling Twitter "X"??? One should not.
Double entendre: “eu” means “me” in Portuguese
It's a rare W, but a welcome one.
Brazil has been on it lately. At least with sticking it to tech bros
Yeah, they found out they could win, when they stuck it to X and straight up banned them until they complied.
Just like the big tech companies have different ToS for EU consumers.
Mad respect to them, but it should be normal. But it's not.
Also like California passing public health laws and companies deciding it is easier to comply to the entire U.S. instead of duplicating product lines.
All the BRICS have. Brazil just stands out, because its not a country we've flagged as "Evil Enemy Run By Inhuman Savages".
It also helps that unlike the R and the C in BRICS, they aren't imperialists threatening and/or invading their neighbours. Brazil is a good world citizen.
Brazil is a good world citizen.
Uhhh, did you forget that Brazil was being run by a fascist war criminal just a short while ago?
And now it isn't, that's democracy, baby
I fully agree that Bolsonaro was a straight up demon, but I also agree with the idea that - currently - the administration of Brazil is probably about as good an example of a good world citizen as it gets
short while
IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN??
So were lots of countries. At least they learned from their mistake, unlike the US.
Brasil, please ban facebook. First twitter then facebook. Fuck the gready corporate assholes. Someone needs to make a first step and create a precedent, we need this. Social media will be (already is) the downfall of our civilization.
Common Brazil W
Brazil gives Meta 72 hours to explain new fact-check policies>
Meta: we don't have any
According to the extrajudicial notice, this allows users to associate sexual identity to “a mental illness or abnormality” and allows “the defense of professional limitations based on gender.”
Why does anyone associate with this site. It's beyond me.
I feel like it’s just boomers at this point
Facebook maybe, but I'm dumbfounded by how many people in my life are actively using Instagram.
"We don't have to pretend anymore."
Meta's anti-LGBT rules are closely knit to their ending the fact-checking: It is science denialism and linked to racism and vaccine skepticism.
Homosexuality and gender identity are not considered mental illnesses, Sex is not a binary, and Race is not connected to intelligence.
Bigots never liked science on these three, and now they use political power to impose their narrative.
Meta never moderated such discourse. Nor reddit nor twitter nor youtube. There was no censorship to end here. What this is, it is a free pass to punch down trans and gay people. It is incitement to violence, and Zuckerberg and Musk must go to the gallows for it.
Don't get me started on the toxic harassment these platforms have allowed against African and Carribean reparation activists, how they have destroyed the lives of feminists, and how they have named all Palestinians terrorists.
At this point race realists and gender essentialists have ensured political and technological control of the narrative.
There is no room for debating sealioning trolls on this one. If they don't understand the social dynamics against gender/sex/minorities at this moment, they are no better than brownshirts.
It is permabans and hooks and jabs all the way, for every single weird freak that backs this deranged hateful shit.
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine Brazil apparently propping up the internet, but huge swathes of twitter shutdown when Brazil banned it a while back, for a short time.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
