The social network began to go dark in the nation of 200 million, the result of an escalating fight between Elon Musk and a Brazilian judge over what can be said online.
This whole thing started because right wing accounts were spreading misinformation and Moraes demanded they were taken down. Musk didn’t comply and removed Twitter’s legal representative here in order to not suffer the consequences.
While I think it’s fair for Twitter to be taken down for that specific reason, the judge is also taking all vpn off google and apple which is incredibly dumb and a dangerous precedent. Lots of people use vpn to work or study. It’s like banning a knife because it has the ability to hurt people. I hope they contest this one part at least.
Edit: they just went back on the decision to remove vpn, so it’s all good. Hooray.
