Despite years of campaigning for impunity by the Bolsonaros and the American far right, a Supreme Court ruling has increased social media corporations' accountability for internet crimes.
This fairytale seems real cool. But when you wake up check what pro israel agencies made out of hate speech worldwide, including Brasil, and try to guess what will happen
I’m the one spinning fairy tales?? You’re telling me that these companies aren’t already blocking people in accordance with their own policies shaped by those very organizations? I just think there is a misunderstanding here, because Bolsonaro would never do anything like this but you’re reframing it as a win for him.
I sure hope nobody thinks of Brazil as a magic kingdom where only good things happening. For the govt there to actually grow a backbone and limit the influence of the orgs that are encouraging their petit boug to be little pro-US Evangelical nightmare beings would ve fantastic. The dominance of US tech & media is very very bad and other countries need actual sovereignty (like enforcing their laws on multinational companies and not legalizing their activities - at a bare minimum, as relying on them at all is a result of being deliberately underdeveloped)
These companies are very entwined with US state power it’s imperialism and the privatization of the state that is an issue not third world sovereignty itself
No it’s not! I hope you can see that uninhibited unlawful access by multinational media & telecom companies is exactly what leads to the establishment of comprador figures like Bolsonaro, who dislike Telesur’s politics.
I’m actually glad you’ve raised this, as it helps me develop my thoughts on social libertarian left tech activism & its limitations. One of its dubious accomplishments is watering down the wrongs done by the US & allied governments with pop social science into generic anti-authoritarian rhetoric, and opposing actions by neo-colonized countries which limit foreign soft power + capital

This is not a win for bolsonaro, its a HUGE loss for brasilian people
Oh fuck off. It’s the PCO person again with the bullshit muh freeze peach. Stop being a reactionary for 5 minutes, will you?
People who dont have anything meaningfull to say dont have to worry about that. You are free to block me, and i strongly encourage you to

Thanks for teaching us that people like bolsonaro didnt get to power before the internet. Like FHC or Collor
