  • This whole thing started because right wing accounts were spreading misinformation and Moraes demanded they were taken down. Musk didn’t comply and removed Twitter’s legal representative here in order to not suffer the consequences.

    While I think it’s fair for Twitter to be taken down for that specific reason, the judge is also taking all vpn off google and apple which is incredibly dumb and a dangerous precedent. Lots of people use vpn to work or study. It’s like banning a knife because it has the ability to hurt people. I hope they contest this one part at least.

    Edit: they just went back on the decision to remove vpn, so it’s all good. Hooray.




  • Earlier this year, Moraes ordered X to block certain accounts, as he investigates so-called “digital militias” that have been accused of spreading fake news and hate messages during the government of far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro.

    These people are the equivalent of Trump’s cult followers, although I’m not on Twitter myself I am sure they are spreading fake news and any fight against it is a win in my point of view. I myself see these Bolsonaro lovers all the time and it’s crazy how they are brainwashed. I know plenty of people who didn’t take the COVID vaccine because of him.
