SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil started blocking Elon Musk’s social media platform X, making it largely inaccessible on both the web and through mobile apps early Saturday after the billionaire failed to name a legal representative in the country. The move, which escalates a monthslong feud between Musk and a Brazilian Supreme Court justice over free speech, far-right accounts and misinformation, came after Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the suspension on Friday. To block X, Brazil’s telecommunications regulator, Anatel, told internet service providers to suspend users’ access to the social media platform. As Saturday morning after midnight local time, major operators had begun doing so.

X Users across Brazil are reporting that they are now unable to access the Social Media App or Website using their Home Internet.

My exact thought.

U.S.S.A. here we come.

The EU is next they have already made threats

[MinorityRepublican]

The UK is probably next. They’re not part of the EU.

[Pox]

Now begins the push to develop even more methods of bypassing government censorship.

They're being threatened with massive fines for using VPN’s to access X, so innovation will commence.

Silencing the public to save Democracy!!

Just like the Joe Biden administration!

The Internet can be great.

Until they turn it off.

Same with access to your money or to buy groceries.

Most them will hail him as "messiah" 😳🙀😱

All according to plan.

You must use your Global One-World Digital Currency to shop at only "officially-approved" stores using your hand or cellphone 📱📱📱 to authorize payment.

That is all, Comrade Global Citizen.





Satan is certainly preparing the world 🌎🌍 for the debut of his Antichrist - the spirit of antichrist is empowering the godless reprobates 🐐🐐🐐

The sheep 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 and the goats 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 are being divided like never before.

[metmom]

Absolutely.

And while they will *turn off* the internet for the masses, they will find a way to keep it on for themselves for increased surveillance of the unwashed.

[srmanuel]

Technically you’re right the UK is not in the EU but from they the EU is being governed from both major parties you wouldn’t know the difference

Good place to start would be for them to examine Tor or other similar onion routing services, and iterate and improve upon that technology.

Another option is offering free jump box servers hosted in countries friendly to X that encrypt connection to the machine. Basically for the uninformed, you use a service like Citrix to remotely access another computer using your browser as a smart terminal. The remote machine resides in an X-friendly country, and the communication between you and the remote machine is encrypted. All the local ISP sees is you connected to some other machine somewhere else, but all other traffic to X technically stays between the remote machine, the ISP that machine is connected to, and X.

Yes, they could theoretically try to quash both of these methods as well. But then everything devolves into a game of Whack-a-Mole, as these situations are wont to do. But necessity is the mother of invention, and one should never underestimate the cleverness of extremely smart and dedicated individuals.

The next step in Brazil will be to start arresting people who successfully access X via VPN or Tor or some other thing I don’t quite understand.

[Kozak]

If you have a VPN ( you should) set your location to Brazil when you use X just to screw with them.

[fremont_steve]

They simply need to install a VPN

As of today, X is already blocked by many if not most telephone and internet service providers in Brazil.

The most shocking part is how Brazil’s authoritarian censorship judge, Alexandre de Moraes, also invented a new law that fines anyone using a VPN to access X $10,000/day.
