Did you read the article? Be honest with me. Because nobody who attentively read the article would think this is a new censorship regime, rather than foreign tech monopolies being asked to follow the law. You're siding with Elon Musk now?

You seem to confuse how things work on paper and how reality is. Platforms will take down any content that may get them sued. If you dont like what someone is doing, sue the platform for whatever hatespeech and they take the content down. But theres no need to argue, just wait and see

Telesur is not going to get censored by Brazilian law lmao, if platforms did that it would be a reprisal for being made to follow Brazilian law.

There is no good argument for the US oligarchy to get final say over the govts of the countries using their services, but this is even crazier to say when US platforms are littered with mysteriously unmoderated Nazi content. Get real?

This fairytale seems real cool. But when you wake up check what pro israel agencies made out of hate speech worldwide, including Brasil, and try to guess what will happen

I'm the one spinning fairy tales?? You're telling me that these companies aren't already blocking people in accordance with their own policies shaped by those very organizations? I just think there is a misunderstanding here, because Bolsonaro would never do anything like this but you're reframing it as a win for him.

I sure hope nobody thinks of Brazil as a magic kingdom where only good things happening. For the govt there to actually grow a backbone and limit the influence of the orgs that are encouraging their petit boug to be little pro-US Evangelical nightmare beings would ve fantastic. The dominance of US tech & media is very very bad and other countries need actual sovereignty (like enforcing their laws on multinational companies and not legalizing their activities - at a bare minimum, as relying on them at all is a result of being deliberately underdeveloped)

These companies are very entwined with US state power it's imperialism and the privatization of the state that is an issue not third world sovereignty itself

People who dont have anything meaningfull to say dont have to worry about that. You are free to block me, and i strongly encourage you to

No it's not! I hope you can see that uninhibited unlawful access by multinational media & telecom companies is exactly what leads to the establishment of comprador figures like Bolsonaro, who dislike Telesur's politics.

I'm actually glad you've raised this, as it helps me develop my thoughts on social libertarian left tech activism & its limitations. One of its dubious accomplishments is watering down the wrongs done by the US & allied governments with pop social science into generic anti-authoritarian rhetoric, and opposing actions by neo-colonized countries which limit foreign soft power + capital

Thanks for teaching us that people like bolsonaro didnt get to power before the internet. Like FHC or Collor
