The decision was almost exclusively taken by Moraes, the supreme court judge, not Lula. Alexandre de Moraes is not a socialist, far from it. But that's besides the point, really. The point is that trans/multinational corporations and actors like Musk are way too fricking powerful and answer to no one but themselves and their financiers, and the fact that liberal democracies are increasingly becoming more and more reactionary and resorting to authoritarian measures to either, suppress, censor or outright silence voices as they struggle to control speech on the internet which runs contrary to the interests of their ruling classes. They will give you many reasons as to why they're resorting to these draconian measures but the main objective is but one, total control over the flow of information, and not just the virtual kind either. The whole "fighting extremism/fake news/racism/etc." excuse is just a red herring.

So now we're stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one side we have multibillionaires with their techno fiefdoms, privatizing more and more of the internet to themselves, and amassing immense power over the flow of information, the economy, politics and our culture. On the other side we have liberal democracies and their ruling classes increasingly more desperate to employ authoritarian and draconian measures to control the flow of information, in the process depriving us of our liberties and freedoms on trumped-up charges.

Its owner believes so and so do a whole lot of his sycophants. The man also hasn't been exactly shy about his plans to turn X into an "everything app" and turning X into THE virtual public square.

both sides, are le bad!!!

Lol.

Yeah, absolutely, unironically.

It's so funny seeing leftoids shit on supposed neolibs while spouting HuffPo-tier takes like "Le fake news is leading us to Real Existing Fasicism".

Reactionary fake news is just one factor, not the main one. But it's interesting you suggest these "le fake news" are not real or don't have an impact in our society when just a few weeks ago we had a few thousand rightoid troglodytes chimp out in the UK because they read on X and Facebook that it was a Muslim immigrant that had stabbed children, leading to race riots. When even the actual owner of X straight up entertains and promotes shit like "le great replacement theory is real and (((they))) are behind it", or the "Great Reset" nonsense that our elites are totally gonna create a Socialist world order . This is a man with tens of millions of sycophants by his side and with an audience in the billions.

We have political parties whose campaign slogans take word for word these r-slurred conspiracies into their political programs getting in or close to power all over Europe. The fricking AfD, a party filled to the brim with honest to God Nazis, just won a German state election today campaigning on these same r-slurred, reactionary views and conspiracies. So I'm sorry for being a little bit worried that our society seems to be heading into the shitter, in no small part thanks to these reactionary factories and actors like X and Musk.

If you don't see the sheer reactionary nature of X under Musk then it's because you're either blind and ignorant to it, or you're one of the midwits that takes part in his technochud crusade.

The problem is how these communication platforms like X and Facebook dominate the flow of information. This is a case of yes, you can technically live without a cell/smartphone today but it's going to be awfully unpractical and will exclude you (or make it very hard) from participating in several, important forums and institutions of our society. If you want to have a presence online you need to use these corporations and their sites/apps.

The solution in your other comment is exactly what I want, too.

The problem with giant tech companies is that they're monopolistic: X (and FB, and Insta, Reddit, Apple msg...) should be turned into open protocols like email. Or at least offer a compatibility to open protocols.

>The tyrant of brazil has infinitely more power over his subjects. He can deprive them of all their rights if he so chooses.

I mean yeah, naturally.

Seeing an r-slured comment and looking into the guys profile only to find out he's a gigantic pervert is a classic /r/drama moment, just had some serious flashbacks here back to the olden days

this cute twink is into ABDL

!ranchers !pedohunters

I ADMIT RDRAMA.NET, I CONFESS MY SINS:

I LOVE REDDIT

BECAUSE ONLY ON REDDIT YOU HAVE USERS WRITING SERIOUS POLITICAL ARGUMENTS AND DEBATES WITH THE SAME ACCOUNT THAT THEY USE FOR THEIR P-DO DIAPER SCAT FETISH

>46 trans femme (pre-op).

!transphobes is it just me or do the post-2022 wave of ism seem to be mainly midlife crisis old moids and porn addicts above the age of 40, instead of how before that, it was mainly zoomers who got sucked into Groomercord, are the tides changing for zoomerkind?

!metashit !dramatards !ranchers I wonder if anyone in here has a leddit account to tell other stupidpol users that this user is a diaper-loving p-do who loves to shit himself in public, and wants to pull a Yaniv by making third-world poor immigrant women touch his shenis?, I do not mean immediately talking to the lolcow zxirself, because zxe would just run crying to bardfinn to suspend your account.

I am referring to first and foremost you making other stupidpolcels aware of who the people that recite this same copypasta mantra over and over are like in real-life, and then the stupidpolcels would confront him about why he loves to wear diapers and shit himself in public as a 46-year-old grown adult, and wants to cut his peepee off

>big4 accountant

Geeeeeg most normal pwcel

I blame you for making me read this

Gross

Why do these BIPOCs call everyone they don't like Nazis or fascists, it's like they haven't heard of the boy that cried wolf

we're having a communist revolution now solely so this freak of fricking nature can be given a spot in the ditch

Wonder if Elon will allow Tor users

Oh, so I can still expect more drama on the way, then.

This is even better
