Brazil started blocking Elon Musk's social media platform X or Twitter right
00:05
early Saturday making it unavailable on both the web and mobile apps
00:09
Elon is beefing with government.
00:11
I'm sorry y'all, I promise Twitter wasn't like this before he
00:14
took over. Like it was actually fun,
00:16
a fun place. You know,
00:17
it's still fun but it's a shithole.
00:20
It's everything's on fire but you know,
00:23
it's still little corners that makes it fun.
00:25
It's still Twitter for me and I think it's still Twitter for
00:27
everyone, I think.
00:29
Yeah, I don't know but it is out of control and
00:31
justice Alexander de Mora.
00:33
I'm sorry if I mispronounced that warn Mu that X could be
00:36
banned in Brazil. The driving forces behind the ban are number
00:39
one misinformation concerns, the Brazilian government was worried about the spread
00:43
of false information on the platform as we said,
00:46
everything goes. It's just like what's going on,
00:48
what's real, what's going on.
00:51
And number two lack of legal representative X did not appoint a
00:55
legal representative in Brazil which is required for operating in the country
01:00
So it's kind of just like a free for all even
01:02
more over there just as MRI S wasted no time in
01:05
order the suspension on Friday.
01:07
He also said a daily fine of 50,000 reels,
01:09
about $8900 us for people or companies using VPN to access the
01:14
platform. So even if you're doing it,
01:16
like how it's gonna do that,
01:18
you're gonna get a fine.
01:20
I just leave the app at that point.
01:22
It's not worth it.
01:23
Seriously. I mean,
01:25
but again, like with anything,
01:26
they'll find a way around it because people they do it for
01:30
Yeah. No,
01:32
it's true. Like I think isn't Instagram banned in China
01:35
Is it banned in China or some parts of China?
01:38
I feel like everything's banned,
01:40
network of stuff. Yeah.
01:42
So I actually have a friend that is in China and she
01:45
has an Instagram. So I'm like,
01:47
interesting. Hey, man.
01:50
Anything for the grand,
01:51
anything for the grand brother Brazil said X to X.
