Brazil has been on it lately. At least with sticking it to tech bros
Yeah, they found out they could win, when they stuck it to X and straight up banned them until they complied.
Just like the big tech companies have different ToS for EU consumers.
Mad respect to them, but it should be normal. But it’s not.
Also like California passing public health laws and companies deciding it is easier to comply to the entire U.S. instead of duplicating product lines.
Same State for car emission standards as well. Too bad our cities are shit holes because of all the car infrastructure though.
All the BRICS have. Brazil just stands out, because its not a country we’ve flagged as “Evil Enemy Run By Inhuman Savages”.
It also helps that unlike the R and the C in BRICS, they aren’t imperialists threatening and/or invading their neighbours. Brazil is a good world citizen.

Uhhh, did you forget that Brazil was being run by a fascist war criminal just a short while ago?
So were lots of countries. At least they learned from their mistake, unlike the US.

If Brazil had learned from it’s mistake it WOULDN’T HAVE ALLOWED A FASCIST INTO POWER, genius.
I meant it in the “fool me once” sense. Americans went for a second helping at the trough of fascism.

The US has been pro-fascist long, long before Mussolini gave it a name.
No wonder with all these off-duty cops I keep hearing about.
Not all, India is in BRICS and they are part of the problem in the tech world.
It’s so disappointing. India has a massive tech service industry and could’ve been a force for good, but the government loves their censorship and authoritarianism too much.
The limited view I have into the CEO culture there seems even more toxic than America’s.

Unless the subject is Amazon deforestation, in which case we have to stop these inhuman savages from destroying this global patrimony (mine). Please don’t ask who’s buying the cattle and soy being grown there or running the mining companies or where I got all this fertile land.
Reminds me of people who said Amazon deforestation warranted a “military intervention.” Hey, be funny if trumpet added another country to his want-to-invade list, wouldn’t it? Yet folks still feel bothered when I say people in rich countries don’t really care all that much about poorer ones.
Not on my 2025 bingo card I’ll admit, but I’m here for it.
And I love them for it.
Truth. Also stop deforestation
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine Brazil apparently propping up the internet, but huge swathes of twitter shutdown when Brazil banned it a while back, for a short time.
Makes sense for any country tondo this because as has become clear, it doesn’t matter if you’re a democracy or a dictatorship, if you are liking musk and face or not, X and meta can and will destabilize your country and once it happens, there is nothing you can do about it except banning the entire site, which will be an unpopular choice.
Musk especially has shown to be all about himself and he’ll just push whatever political right wing party to destabilize a country.
Fuck x, fuck Facebook
Brasil, please ban facebook. First twitter then facebook. Fuck the gready corporate assholes. Someone needs to make a first step and create a precedent, we need this. Social media will be (already is) the downfall of our civilization.

Is there any way to hide embedded images on lemmy?
These are pretty annoying.
Use Lynx browser, if that’s even still a thing?
EDIT: It is!
Meta’s anti-LGBT rules are closely knit to their ending the fact-checking: It is science denialism and linked to racism and vaccine skepticism.
Homosexuality and gender identity are not considered mental illnesses, Sex is not a binary, and Race is not connected to intelligence.
Bigots never liked science on these three, and now they use political power to impose their narrative.
Meta never moderated such discourse. Nor reddit nor twitter nor youtube. There was no censorship to end here. What this is, it is a free pass to punch down trans and gay people. It is incitement to violence, and Zuckerberg and Musk must go to the gallows for it.
Don’t get me started on the toxic harassment these platforms have allowed against African and Carribean reparation activists, how they have destroyed the lives of feminists, and how they have named all Palestinians terrorists.
At this point race realists and gender essentialists have ensured political and technological control of the narrative.
There is no room for debating sealioning trolls on this one. If they don’t understand the social dynamics against gender/sex/minorities at this moment, they are no better than brownshirts.
It is permabans and hooks and jabs all the way, for every single weird freak that backs this deranged hateful shit.

I agree. As a mod on LW myself I have to wonder how far the admin are willing to go to enforce such a policy. Are they really going to start removing mods for banning trolls and bigots‽
*Edit: oops, I got the posts mixed up. I thought this was the post about lemmy.world’s new policy on debating trolls instead of banning them.
“We don’t have to pretend anymore.”
Good. At least someone is saying something. More people and companies should voice their opinion.
Brazil gives Meta 72 hours to explain new fact-check policies>
Meta: we don’t have any
They do, tho. It’s community notes. If multiple people agree on a correction, especially if those people usually disagree with eachother, it becomes the note
How many bribes is Meta going to have to pay out?
Community note: Bribes are illegal and won’t be tolerated in sparkly clean Brazil.
couldn’t they just turn off brazil? they do this to myanmar all the time
For some completely unrelated reason, I suddenly have this song stuck in my head…
