an EU country has to invent its own social media platform asap, which will follow our laws and regulations, without having to feed some rotten greedy US billionaires
don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

And of course, Elon is crying about "free speech" being blocked when he himself didn't want to follow the rules. Disinformation was rampant on X in Brazil (and not just there!) but doing anything against it is labeled by Elon as censorship - unless someone would share disinformation about himself or his political friends, where he suddenly wields the biggest banhammer possible plus potentially waving with a lawsuit afterwards for good measure.

The worst of all is seeing people defending that dictator who loves to throw people in jail just because he disagrees with them. I can't believe I share the same name as him.
Someone needs to stop this guy, the whole country is at his hands right now.
Twitter is being shut down here in Brazil, as it should be. Our constitution says companies need to have legal representatives and office in our country and Musk just removed the ones there were here because he didn't want to follow brazilian laws.

You pretty much nailed it

And to put some pressure on Musk, they also blocked payments for Starlink, Musk's Internet-over-satellite service. The Amazon region is due to it's geographical features mostly using Starlink for it's internet access, so losing those clients would be a steep cut for Starlink.
But I agree with legal experts here that blocking Starlink payments is a step too far, as it punishes many people in Brazil for something that they have little to no influence about.

Good it was blocked. Twitter has long become a platform to spread misinformed and betting websites. Hopefully Telegram goes next

Elon Musk won't punish the People of Brazil for the illegal acts committed by the tyrant @alexandre against him and his companies – Elon Musk will provide Starlink users in Brazil with free internet rather than shutting it off.

It's Brazil shutting off the signal coming from the satellites (basically it's IP adresses), not Musk cutting it. He has absolutely zero influence about it safe for what he should have done in the first place. Him grandstanding about continuing to provide Starlink is just posturing, salesmanship and him having absolutely no clue how that actually works.
