He looks literally like Darth Vader or Lord Voldemort 💩
Political circus. I live here. Election year (municipalities). X is widely used for campaigning.
Scare tactic I'd say. How could you really enforce it in a place like Brazil.
True tho. He isn't doing himself favors
Infelizmente essa é a realidade que estamos vivendo aqui no Brasil, acredite isso tudo está sendo apoiado por redes de televisão e jornais por aqui.
I hit wrong emoji response, sorry meant to say yes not no
this is insane
There’s no legality in this decision, it’s absolutely unconstitutional, and yes, his appearance reveals his intentions in a comically obvious way.
Coming to the UK soon.
All the top Chairs of the Brazilian government are occupied by criminals! This Supreme Court Justice is one of the leaders of the organized crime in Brazil! His Cartel is called PCC!! Same name as the Cuban and Chinese political parties!
Desperation.
The saddest part, Lyn, is seeing the mainstream media overwhelmingly support his decisions. It's heartbreaking to watch my country unravel before my eyes.
Brasil 🇧🇷 have a dictator… God help us

Judge Orders X Ban in Brazil, Threatens People Accessing X via VPN with $8,874 Daily Fine
Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered internet providers and app stores to block X within five days, and the platform will stay blocked until it complies. Users or companies accessing X via virtual private networks (VPNs) will face daily fines of 50,000 reais (~$8,874).

The EU authoritarians are eagerly waiting to see how this would play out and will try to do the same if they get scared.
I somehow don’t really think this will stop people.
vpn over Tor

This is the warm up.
Get prepared for what’s coming.
If they are retarded enough propose unrealised capital gains, then anything is on the table!
His name is Head of Piroca
God help us in Brazil !
Are nostr’s elements (relays, clients, keys) like horcruxes?
Coming to the US ASAP
Brazil has a communist president. This does not surprise me at all 🙁
It is crazy indeed. But how will they find out if someone accessed it via VPN?
Forgive my ignorance; but how could they even go after people using a vpn to access X?

I’m wondering when the tipping point occurs when citizens just lose their shit, pick up any weapon they can find and do a French style revolt.
that's literally what a VPN is for haha
This is actually absolutely disgusting to watch unfold in real time. Seeing my favorite AI engineer and content creator have to publicly say goodbye bc he lives in São Paulo… a man who has dedicated his life to bettering the world through compute. I’m usually middle of the road, but I’m disgusted.
I’m a real human being saying, “I’m being forcefully cut off from my community right now”
Just the beginning…
GM Using Nostr is not required any Permission!!!

Just like I said, news that they are “negotiating”
Monitoring profiles
literally the purpose of a VPN
"And the judge really does look like a comic book villain."
Agreed. Alexandre de Moraes reminds me of the villain from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, #JudgeDoom. #LifeImitatesArt ?
Tornado cash, samourai , telegram guys thrown in jail for providing a tool.
That’s going after developers and not users.
Fining people for tweeting or using a VPN is going after users and not developers.
Shouldn’t VPN CEOs and Elon go to jail?
At least be consistent.
They need to get rid of this judge, hopefully the tide will turn eventually.
Jesus. Does nostr fix this? I guess they have no one to come after like Musk, but they can still try to “ban” it 🤔
But bitcoin at least begins to address the bureaucracy.
B in BRICS, who want to come up with a new global currency have serious trust issues.
what did U do when uncle $am did it 2 americans all these years?
n0w brazil is doing y the f*k every0ne is screaming abt it.
insanity
Is it possible to get caught if you use a vpn to access x? Would they be able to police it?
Not impossible, but VPN providers would have to bend the knee for Brasil to give their data, but not gonna be easy to force providers who operate outside of Brasil. And if they did, it would reduce the value proposition of their business, so I think they are incentivized not to give data away if possible.
Short answer, no, they won't be able to police it effectively at scale.
They won't be able to enforce it, brasil government gonna have hard time to get VPN providers from other jurisdictions to disclosure data. Doesn't make sense for business to do that, otherwise they lose customers quickly.
Same as Klaus Schwab 🤣
Censorship as a tool for those in power to maintain control.
Unfortunately, such mechanisms are on the rise worldwide.
🤔
Isn’t it true that isps can recognize you ise vpn, just by seeing scrambled traffic?
I think so, funny thing is they banned VPN connection only to X, not VPNs altogether.
Unfortunatelly we, Brazilian people haver been facing this kind of shit from supreme court members due to the connivance of part of the collectivist population of votters, whether out of ignorance, personal interest or convenience.
