Why BlueSky or even Threads tho?
I dunno, I follow some political, rap, and basketball YouTubers and they all use Twitter. I'd much rather them use Bluesky or Threads. I think Mastodon would probably be best but so far, anything's better than Twitter.
As long as the general public only hears the first half of the story, it's good marketing
Brazil didn't shut down "X". They did it themselves so X wouldn't have a Brazilian entity subject to Brazilian court orders. That is why Starlink got caught in the mess.
Local press and lots of people in Brazil criticize judges because, due to flaws on local laws and 80's redemocratization efforts, they have some perks, privileges and exceptional powers no democratic country would give to them. There are cases ranging from content showing them traveling overseas being not visible on local internet and TV people being given cease-and-desist orders for disagreeing with some judge decision, to people being detained by Federal Police agents for criticizing justice system inside a plane that happens to have a judge among the passengers - not to mention those FBI agents detained at Rio de Janeiro airport for containing a judge's wife who got unruly in a plane for drinking too much during the fly.
This time however he asked for it, and our justice system toke the right decisions. Elon Musk should know how ridiculously overpowered our judges are before acting like that.
