Elon Musk Lifts Restrictions on X Accounts in Brazil in Challenge to Courts
Billionaire Elon Musk has announced his intention to defy court restrictions imposed on certain accounts on the social media platform X in Brazil, even if this results in the platform being shut down in the country. Bloomberg has the story.
X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, said in a post late Saturday that court decisions “forced” the site to block “certain popular accounts” in Brazil, without specifying the reasons or which posts allegedly violated the law. Shortly after, Musk wrote on the platform that he was defying the court’s ruling. …
While neither X nor Musk identified the judge that issued the ruling, the site’s billionaire owner was responding to another post that accused Brazil’s Supreme Court head Alexandre de Moraes of cracking down on free speech. …
The spat comes as courts widen a fight against so-called fake news and hate speech online. In a recent decision, the country’s Superior Electoral Court approved a resolution requiring social media networks to limit the spread of fake news during elections.
Exactly. I wouldn’t trust Musk as far as I could throw him, but sometimes he does excellent things, and his defiance in this case is one of them.
Here is an article by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, detailing the huge scandal involving Lula and Michel Temer, who appointed the judge Alexandre de Moraes to replace the judge Teori Zavascki, who was killed in a plane crash just as he was about to expose the vast corruption, including Lula and Temer. Now Moraes is pretending to be a patriot while helping the Communists harass the true patriot Bolsonaro.
Lula also excoriated Bolsonaro for stressing the dangers of covid vaccines, and refusing the clotshot himself. Like the five African leaders opposing covid vaccines who all were either murdered or died suddenly, before being replaced with enthusiastic mass vaccine supporters, Bolsonaro was replaced with Lula, who immediately launched a national covid vaccine campaign, and claims to have been vaccinated five times himself.
What a coincidence.
Western bureaucracies and authoritarians have long envied the control the Chinese government has over daily life in China. And it’s the model they are trying to copy.

Once again believe the opposite of what the MSM tells you. Rather than Bolsanaro it’s Lula who’s the threat to democracy.
