What does this even mean?

Sounds like a really unbiased source.

Their software is so terrible and unfixable with their management that they decided to spin off a different company so that it'd have a software startup mentality. But of course that failed too because the top management is still the same. So they put in a 4 billion investment into Rivian so they could get access to their software. The car software is universally terrible in all legacy car companies.

He's no ordinary judge. He's the judge, jury and executioner, who has clearly abused his powers for corruption before[2].

That is not true, Starlink's bank account was frozen before even the ban on X.

Sticking to principles is "winning" for some people, not making more money or getting power. Zuckerberg would've folded long ago and did whatever the govt asked him to do in order to make more money.

Doesn't seem surprising, the judge froze the bank accounts of X's legal rep after she stopped working for X because of threats of arrest. X had to fire all their Brazil employees to protect them. Starlink assets got frozen so Starlink employees are fair game.

The takedown request asked for IP addresses, does anyone know if non-Brazil IP addresses are also fair game? Feels weird that whatever country can just get US/EU person IP addresses as they wish from BlueSky, Threads etc.

It's about propaganda, if they keep saying Musk didn't found SpaceX(real comments on Reddit) and keep upvoting those comments, and downvoting anyone saying he did with sources, then eventually new folks will believe that he didn't found SpaceX.

On Reddit, mods of large subreddits like /r/news are permabanning people that just post an official SpaceX response and are censoring the comments. It's wild out there.

So no terrorists then.

No, I'd suggest reading the next line of my comment. You cannot prove a negative with incomplete stats.

3% of Brazilian population is still 6.45 million people who primarily use X for news. There are 23 million X users in Brazil. That's a lot of people.

> That article does the exact same thing.

So you agree the WaPo article is crap? Because it uses anecdotes to prove a negative, while the article I linked disproves the WaPo by showing that some Brazilians do care. You can't prove a negative with anecdotes but you can prove a positive.

Cherry picking anecdotes.

There's a lot of people missing X as evidenced in this article https://www.yahoo.com/news/brazilian-judge-suspends-x-platfo...

> This all started because Elon Musk actively chose to give voice to specific known terrorists

Source? They appear to be public figures, including a sitting senator. If they were terrorists why weren't they arrested and their phones taken away? Instead we get secret orders to censor. Curious to see your research on this.

The judge seems to have a history of calling things fake news because he's corrupt, there's no due process, he's the censorship czar.

> what do you expect when you refuse to obey a court order? Arrests happen for that in America too

When Iran or China does things like this, it's because Iran and China are bad. When Twitter stands up for censorship, it's "shut up and obey the local authority, just follow the orders".

Recent example of Iran where the tone of the comments is not "you deserve what you get for not following the law"

AP News has been posting fake news about Tesla, it's sad to see.

> Twitter since elon’s criminal “leadership” has become a bot-infested cesspool of racist bullshit, where he unilaterally censors whatever he dislikes in his sissy fits. In this form, this is a manipulation device, and good riddance

If that is true then why do Biden, Kamala, the DNC, and most European politicians continue to post heavily on it?

Accounts are free and easy to create, so it's your choice rather than a restriction on your rights.

You have a right to vote in your country, doesn't mean that you can demand they collect the vote in your bedroom and claim your rights are violated if they refuse.

Just like these laws https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-nuremb...

It says total wear time is 30 days, so it's 15 days per device.

Is BlueSky required to have a legal rep?

A lot of Brazilian users are posting "I am using a VPN to access X" on BlueSky so the judge will probably order BlueSky to turn over their IP addresses(like he did in orders to X) so they can be fined $9000 a day.

Meanwhile the fine for driving drunk and endangering people in Brazil is only $500. $9000 for just visiting(not even posting) any Twitter page seems excessive.

What if people that normally use a VPN or a remote job corporate VPN in another country accidently click or get redirected to a Twitter link? Twitter links are all over the web.

List of countries where its illegal to access X: Russia, China, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Venezuela, Brazil and Turkmenistan

Twitter always had a lot of NSFW content, but one of the new features that was rolled out under Musk was support for longer videos.

Before that videos could only be max 140 seconds long. Now the limit is 2 hours.

Starlink does comply with local laws in BR and wants to do business there.

Plus this has repercussions for people in other countries that want to restrict freedom of speech and strong arm social media, and is watched by governments.

Plus this is just tech news, you can post 'why do we care' to pretty much any other story on the front page.

What's missing is how many onboardings on the dev do you expect per year?

If it's like 10 or even 25, then it's not worth the extra automation. More than 50 is when the time is worth it.

Again, where are the alleged crimes committed by Musk according to the GP comment?

That's a strange way of saying you completely lost the argument so you had to resort to digging into comment history to try and find something, but I'll take it.

Address the topic, not the commenter, stop violating HN guidelines.

Those people are not billionaires, so why haven't they been prosecuted if, as you allege, they have committed crimes.

That account was automatically flagged for spam and then reinstated.

Even if it wasn't, censorship by an individual or a company is not a crime, are you confused by the first amendment which is a restriction on the government?

X or Musk are not the government.

> "Do you see a rise of hate speech?" Mr Musk said. "I don't."

> He asked our reporter James Clayton for specific examples of hateful content.

> When he couldn't pinpoint individual messages, Mr Musk said: "You don't know what you're talking about… you just lied.

That is hilarious, thanks for the article.

And I don't see examples of crimes committed by X or Musk in there?

> Nobody is.

You're the one that referenced that site as a source for FSD allegedly killing people. And now the only thing you have is an Autopilot death and quote the site text that says it includes deaths whether or not the Tesla or its driver were at fault? Where are the FSD deaths you claimed? Most people don't check sources and assume a comment is true because one is linked.

The fact that deaths are included as a 'Tesla death' regardless of who's fault it is shows that the site operator has an axe to grind and that the data cannot be trusted.

> How is 555 deaths across millions of cars sold refuting that?

555 deaths over 11 years worldwide is quite low given that about 45,000 people die in auto accidents just in the US every single year and 1.19M people die worldwide every single year.
