On: Starlink Defies Order to Block X in Brazil

[Levitz]

In what way does taking X off Brazil decrease the censorship in Brazil?

[cassianoleal → Levitz]

It certainly makes whatever censorship might be taking place less skewed by Musk's personal whims.

[Gud → cassianoleal]

No, because that speech could (presumably, can never be sure what’s allowed in a quasi-democracy) take place on another website.

[cassianoleal → Gud]

Yes but it wouldn't be subjected to Musk's censorship on Random Website, whereas on Twitter it is.

[Gud → cassianoleal]

Yes, but if the government censors it, it’s forbidden on both. Surely you muse see the difference?

[cassianoleal → Gud]

Yes, I do. That's precisely my point. It's based on law. Brazil is a democratic country. The law is the will of the people, or at least it is as much as bullshit USA-based representative democracy goes. Still much closer to the will of the people than Musk's personal opinions and whims.

[Gud → cassianoleal]

Sorry, but you are completely missing the point.

Have a nice day.

[cassianoleal → Gud]

I don't think I am. I think you're having a hard time understanding that people may see your point and still disagree with it.

Have a nice day yourself!

[malermeister → Levitz]

It removes the censor that is Musk.
