  • Elon Musk's X Backs Down in Brazil

    Elon Musk's X Backs Down in Brazil

    In an abrupt reversal, the social network's lawyers said it was
    complying with court orders that it had previously defied. Brazil's
    Supreme Court could allow the site to return next week.

    Brazil's Supreme Court blocked X last month because its owner, Elon
    Musk, refused to comply with court orders.

    Oh well, at least he crushed the swedish unions. That's always something!
    =) In case of brazil, we'll help them with numerous open source tools, to circumwent the authoritarian, socialist regime that has implanted itself
    there, so they can talk freely without fear of being arrested! =)

    Brazil's right-wing movement persists without Bolsonaro

    Brazil's defeated former president, Jair Bolsonaro, was in Florida
    this month when his supporters tried -- but failed -- to overthrow the country's young democracy. It was a sign that many in Latin America's
    largest nation believe so fiercely in his movement that it can persist
    without its namesake.

    Although Bolsonarismo appears disoriented at the moment, the broader
    trend will endure. That's according to academics who study the
    movement and participants in the trend themselves, from the far-right
    radicals who stormed the capital to more ordinary Brazilian social conservatives. Many feel that leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was
    such a threat to their country that his victory required the military
    to prevent him from taking office.

    playing with the court is fun

    The moment showed how, in the years long power struggle between tech
    giants and nation-states, governments have been able to keep the upper
    hand.

    Resistance Is Futile
    Apparently, the phrase "resistance is futile" appeared the first time
    on TV in a 1967 "Doctor Who" episode called "Tomb of the Cybermen".
