“Elon Musk’s had more positions on free speech than the Kama Sutra," says lawmaker.

    Brazil first, Australia 2nd and hopefully EU third nail in the coffin for that clown’s platform

        X is forbidden from offering services in Brazil until and unless it complies with the local courts (the company refused an order to suspend some accounts, then wouldn’t appoint a local representative as Brazilian law requires). Local ISPs are required to block it. I don’t know about Australia.

    Of course, of course. The people fighting against fascism are always the real fascists. According to the fascists, anyway.

      They’re not even fighting against fascism per se they’re just asking him to obey the law. Asking people to obey the law isn’t exactly a political position.

    Good thing he gutted Twitter’s content moderation teams in the name of “free speech”, eh?

    If I had a dollar for every time a billionaire loses more money than I could ever dream of because their hubris got in the way or they misunderstood a concept or were just plain dumb – well, I guess I’d be a billionaire too.

    “The true fascist are the people who try to place control on disinformation being used to prop fascists!” - Musk, probably

      There are only two ways to do this:

      1. Him becoming destitute and poor

      2. Him being dead

      Neither is likely to happen anytime soon, so we’re stuck with this piece of shit for some decades longer. If the human race could collectively just ignore him, stop buying his cars and stop thinking he’s some kind of genius, then perhaps there’s a third option. But that relies on the human race having the capacity to critically think, which is even more unlikely than option #1.

      What a strange selection of censored words… “fail to comply”, “The billionaire owner…”, “would strenghten the Australian”, “has yet to be passed”

    Being under someone’s boot isn’t so fun, is it dumbass? Almost as if we should be working towards a society as if you don’t know who you’ll be in it.

    You know, the ban here was enlightening for me, about certain people from my social circles. Four examples:

    1. Resumed Twitter shitposting in Bluesky. Different URL. No mention of Twitter.
    2. Cheering Twitter being gone, as they were only using it due to their contacts, but felt like shit for doing it. Criticising how Moraes did it, but not the goal itself.
    3. LARPs as against fascism but screeches nonstop in Bluesky about Twitter being gone, as they think that the world revolves around their own convenience.
    4. Left microblogging altogether.

    But I digress (as this has barely anything to do with the OP). Those people like Musk are bound to “creatively reinterpret” the words: in one situation orange is yellow, in another it’s red, both, neither. Sometimes it isn’t “ackshyually” related to red or yellow, it’s “inverted blue”. And suckers fall for it. That’s what Musk is doing with fascism.

    Unrelated to the article:

    I read this title as “Fascifacts” instead of “Facists”…

    I think that instead of calling it fake news, we should start calling it “Fascifacts.”
