This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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
If countries don't start taking modern warfare seriously everyone is going to end up in far right authoritarian regimes that won't accept election results. Bolsonaro would love to come back and never leave.
Common Brazil W
based lula
Double entendre: “eu” means “me” in Portuguese
Nice
It's a rare W, but a welcome one.
Did not expect Brazil to be the hero we need right now, but I’m here for it.
Brazil has at least some history of fighting against tech giant's disrespect of regularions https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_of_Twitter_in_Brazil
Lula be right more often than not. Oops I mean left.
It's some high judge so I think they are independent from the government but I don't know their system well.
Yeah and I wasn't expecting that one either. Sounds like I should start to, though.
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.
Sadly I don't think it will happen since we are extremely dependent on whatsapp because our SMS sucked ass since the inception, messages were costly and always arrived late.
Should get off of centralized services anyway. They could make it so that whatever app you used you could send messages to any other. Like with phone service providers, email or Lemmy etc.
Good. At least someone is saying something. More people and companies should voice their opinion.
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.
