The reason Brazil and other nations in the south look a bit more seriously at their "January 6th" moments is because they have actually experienced coups, often multiple, and not because they don't have as great free speech laws or whatever. They don't view these events as done by a clique of deranged nobodies like the US can afford to do - for them, it may very well be a sign of more things to come, and they take it very seriously.

There's a big misunderstanding here. This case has nothing to do with the Brazilian Govt. The Judiciary is independent from the Executive and the Legislative Powers, according to our constitution. The fact that drove X to be banned from Brazil is that it has refused to down several post where Bolsonaro supporters were harassing many police officers involved in an important investigation against their gang. They posted addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers so on so forth, in a blatant violation of freedom of speach...hence they were threatening the officers from Federal Police. So Justice Alxandre de Moraes, after several warnings had to take the extreme measure which is the banning of X all over Brazil. That alone would be enough but there's more to it: Elon Musk posted many Xs mocking our Institutions. He's a far right conspirationis and a bigot. Now he's reconsidering his stences after the stocks have plumeted. The fact is that most of Brazilians users of X have now flocked to Bluesky and as supposed to be, X already seems like a far distant bad memory...soon to be forgotten.
The judiciary is part of the government, isn't it? What else would it be part of? You've got a legislative, judicial, and executive branch, no? The judiciary is part of the government. No one said that your judiciary is part of your executive branch. Everything you stated reflects my understanding of the issue. EDIT: Yeah, title I, article 2. "The powers of the Union are vested in the legislative, the executive, and the judicial branch, which are independent and harmonious with each other." I mean, you are Brazilian, and from your post it seems like you clearly know this, so I'm really confused here. Please understand that I am not trying to explain the structure of your own government to you. I just don't think there's the misunderstanding that you think there is--or something. Perhaps language is the problem. From what I'm reading in the constitution, Brazil is a federal constitutional republic--same as the US. Does the cognate of the English word "government" mean something slightly different in Portuguese or something? I wouldn't think so, but I'm grasping at straws here ... And I'm delighted to hear that most Brazilians have already left Twitter. It makes my heart sing. When I heard about the ban initially, I wondered if perhaps there was some "judicial activism" happening, or if there was anything overtly political about it. But then I skimmed through the judge's order, and it seemed absolutely straightforward. In fact, the judge really didn't seem to have a choice: that was the law, and it was his duty to apply the law, so he did. He even gave Twitter a brief grace period in which to fulfill their (basic) obligations, and they simply neglected to. By failing to respond, Elon Musk was essentially spitting in the face of the nation of Brazil.
I already posted it before, but here we go again: I have always respected U.S. laws whenever I had the opportunity to visit that beautiful country, and I believe the same respect should be shown by anyone visiting Brazil, whether for tourism or business. The Brazilian Constitution guarantees free speech, but it follows the modern European perspective: "The limit of free speech is hate speech that incites real-world harm." This understanding took hold in Brazil when lawmakers recognized how massive hate speech campaigns enabled the Nazis to poison the German population against the Jewish community in the 20th century. Since then, in Brazil, you have the right to free speech-you can freely express your dislike for someone or criticize the government. However, your freedom ends where another person's dignity is harmed. You are as free to exercise your right to free speech as others are to their right to be respected. So, when Justice Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil orders Twitter to shut down an account spreading fake news and hate speech, he is upholding the Brazilian Constitution. Former President Bolsonaro employed a tactic of flooding the Brazilian internet with fake news to attack his political opponents. It has been fully proven that his party used public funds to pay for Russian and Indian bots to amplify these lies on Twitter, poisoning the minds of Brazilians who acted in good faith. In 2016, this tactic succeeded because, although our Constitution limits free speech in this way, the use of such techniques on such a large scale was relatively new. Today, Brazilian institutions are more familiar with these tactics, and Justice de Moraes is using the Supreme Court to protect our Republic and our right not to be manipulated by those with the money and resources to exploit social media for their own interests.
The fact that most Brazilian x/twitter users understood the court decision and sided with Brazilian justice shows that Elon had no chance of winning this fight. Orgulho de ser Brasileiro!
Kyle, you are missing out on two important distinction here, worth claryfying, if you allow me. Elon did not refuse an order from the Brazilian government, cause the government did not have any involvement with the court's decisions to take those pages down, just as it does not have anything to do with the ongoing investigations regarding the coup attempt on Jan 8th, and is not involved in any shape or form in Elon's latest mess. It was a Supreme Court justice who issued the warrants to take down the pages - again, not simply because of "misinformation" - but because it all links back to the active attempt to overthrow the ticket that had won the election. Lula and his adm never asked twitter anything, nor dictated anything that the judiciary did. You have to remember that parts of the law enforcement and the military in Brazil organized and participated in the coup attempt and, if not for some legalist, loyal and patriotic military high commanders, the coup would have been successful. Our Supreme Court took very seriously the mission of fully unveiling the coup plan and those invoved in the coup attempt, and is using - as it should - its undeniably large, constitutional power to go after these undeniable traitors and to stop any further expansion of this illegal movement - which had and still has the explicit goal of destroying our democracy. We have plenty of free speech in Brazil - with important distinctions, obviously - but we do not believe that you can conspire to destroy democracy as part of protected speech. You cannot use the rights democracy grants you to overthrow democracy itself. So, if Musk had told Modi to "f off", it would not have been the same thing had he told our Supreme Court and its legitimate investigation to do the same. Hope you can include these important distinctions in your upcoming videos about Brazil. Cheers, mate! Been following you for a long time, keep up the good work with Krystal.
@@twostate7822 Brazil uses the word government to refer to the executive branch, as do some European countries, and it would be equivalent to administration in the USA. Cognates can have a narrower scope, as in Portugal, which is also more similar to the concept of administration.
Quoting from wikipedia "The Federal government of Brazil is defined by the 1988 constitution which defines a tripartite separation of powers into the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government. Aside from those, the country also has the Public Ministry which acts autonomously and has in the past been referred to as the country's fourth branch.
@@twostate7822 Duuuh!! --- Try to understand with your stunted intellect. "Government" in Brazil, and many other countries, actually respects the concept of THREE INDEPENDENT POWERS. Unlike the US Supreme court, with it's near fascistic religious interpretations of the Law, the Brazilian Supreme Court acts INDEPENDENTLY from the Executive branch, and is served by the Public Ministry (aka the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office), who investigate the crimes, and provide evidence to the Supreme Court in matters directly related to crimes against the Executive and Legislative branches. The highly illegal actions of certain members of the military and former Executive branch members of the Bolsonazi administration have already been tried and this is not a subject that the Court took lightly. So when Musky man-baby and his minions used twitter to publish lies about the Coup d'État on Jan 8, it is the Supreme Court's job to denounce that and demand an investigation in the facts by the Brazilian Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (Public Ministry). In Brazil, lies are not protected speech, neither is any type of derogatory, racist or bigoted speech, neither are online threats to any person -- especially to members of any of the three branches of government! This is also true in dozens of countries worldwide, and thus is not unique to Brazil. Musky and his minions don't get to determine what other people think is hate speech or lies or even what is considered a threat ... and as far as anyone can tell, it was the board of directors at several of Musky man-baby's corporations who demanded he make it right, demanded he stop lying and demanded he stop enabling fascist w*nkers online. Some people prefer making money to supporting fascists, go figure!!
Freedom of speech is not absolute. No right is absolute. You have the right to be free, but guess what, you get locked up if you break the law. Countries have different laws. One should not try to apply American constitution in other countries.
This is how governments must treat corporations when doing so in favor of the public good. Back in 1999 when several European countries embraced the Euro in lieu of their individual currencies, many banks still wanted to charge "cross currency" fees even though there were no longer foreign exchanges. The EU fined or threatened to revoke banking licenses and voila....cross currency fees disappeared overnight...ditto with M/C and Visa when they wanted to charge more for debit cards (as a new product) than credit cards even though payment was nearly instantaneous without the float and less credit risk than credit cards....that time around Walmart sued and the exchange backed down....I'm good with companies making fair profits from a competitive product...not so much when they abuse a monopoly position to extract unwarranted rents...like the pharmaceuticals do now with drugs that are decades if not a century old and the R&D has long been recouped...
To anyone who thinks that Twitter or any other company should ignore demands from governments they disagree with; are you VERY SURE that what you want is for multinational corporations to start acting even more like supranational organizations and selectively following laws in the places they operate?
Brazilian here. The crazy thing is, he could have used money to sweeten his way but decided to use force. Our Supreme Court is not leftist at all nor even that reliable. There are a few judges there that he could have bought out. But no, Musk allowed far right accounts to dox Supreme Court judges phone numbers and address without consequences. And Bolsonaro, the politicians Musk endorses in Brazil, had a written plan to kidnap the Supreme Court judge, bring him to an unknown location and kill him. Of course the Supreme Court would take the case seriously and Musk got involved by enabling these people in his platform.
I'm actually loving this shit. Say what you will about Brazilian speech laws. Unfettered transnational corporate power is a bigger threat to our freedoms long term. National governments triumphing over them is very important.b
And he’s about to do the same with the Australian government, and very soon with “Merry Olde England” (a lot of the Farrage Riots were coordinated using…wait for it…Twitter. Elon’s f…ed)
the ultimate free speech warrior always caves to every slightly authoritarian regime and only defends the free speech he likes while immediately shutting off or suing against the one he doesnt like...Elon Musk's turn into a villain has been one of the biggest disappointments of the last years
Brazilian, if Elon actually cared for fighting for free speech effectively, he would've challenged the goverment request through legal means, as opposed to just saying no and plugging your ears like a child.
Lol, it's not about the money. It's about the person and the principles they hold. People forget that the U.S was essentially created by wealthy/upper class individuals. Yet they are regarded as heros. That's because they believed in freedom. Them being rich didn't make them less righteous
Land usurpers have no moral or legal compass. He was the one behind Evo Morales fall on Bolivia. Lula might not be as sophisticate, but he ain't nobody's fool. All those years dealing as an Union men against the Government and Industry Captains forged his wits .
The biggest problem o this is that these people use these tools to spread lies. A few years ago, they used a radio interview with Lula to cut out some parts and create a fake video where he says something like "they just stole a cell phone to drink a beer." Today, in any random video about any type of crime, they repeat this same phrase. They planted this and it became a truth in the minds of millions of people. They planted the idea that Lula is connivent with criminals, that he supports them.

The fact that drove X to be banned from Brazil is that it has refused to down several post where Bolsonaro supporters were harassing many police officers involved in an important investigation against their gang.
They posted addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers so on so forth, in a blatant violation of freedom of speach...hence they were threatening the officers from Federal Police.
So Justice Alxandre de Moraes, after several warnings had to take the extreme measure which is the banning of X all over Brazil.
That alone would be enough but there's more to it:
Elon Musk posted many Xs mocking our Institutions.
He's a far right conspirationis and a bigot.
Now he's reconsidering his stences after the stocks have plumeted.
The fact is that most of Brazilians users of X have now flocked to Bluesky and as supposed to be, X already seems like a far distant bad memory...soon to be forgotten.
Might be but for us non-Brazilians it does not really matter what part of Brazil did the good work.
Thank you for the explanation, it's very helpful for understanding to get the context.
Thank you for clarifying this
The judiciary is part of the government, isn't it? What else would it be part of? You've got a legislative, judicial, and executive branch, no? The judiciary is part of the government. No one said that your judiciary is part of your executive branch. Everything you stated reflects my understanding of the issue. EDIT: Yeah, title I, article 2.
"The powers of the Union are vested in the legislative, the executive, and the judicial branch, which are independent and harmonious with each other."
I mean, you are Brazilian, and from your post it seems like you clearly know this, so I'm really confused here. Please understand that I am not trying to explain the structure of your own government to you. I just don't think there's the misunderstanding that you think there is--or something. Perhaps language is the problem.
From what I'm reading in the constitution, Brazil is a federal constitutional republic--same as the US. Does the cognate of the English word "government" mean something slightly different in Portuguese or something? I wouldn't think so, but I'm grasping at straws here ...
And I'm delighted to hear that most Brazilians have already left Twitter. It makes my heart sing. When I heard about the ban initially, I wondered if perhaps there was some
"judicial activism" happening, or if there was anything overtly political about it. But then I skimmed through the judge's order, and it seemed absolutely straightforward. In fact, the judge really didn't seem to have a choice: that was the law, and it was his duty to apply the law, so he did. He even gave Twitter a brief grace period in which to fulfill their (basic) obligations, and they simply neglected to. By failing to respond, Elon Musk was essentially spitting in the face of the nation of Brazil.
@@bsadewitz It's part of the State, not the current government. I think there's a little semantics problem here.
Elon Musk is the only topic of conversation where the phrase "go back to Africa" is appropriate.
Nah, we don't want him 😉
He has tried to interfere in our (South African) politics, and South Africans were having none of it

If only you guys had sorted your muskrat problem at home
It wouldn't be everyone's problem now
I've been saying that for years
I already posted it before, but here we go again: I have always respected U.S. laws whenever I had the opportunity to visit that beautiful country, and I believe the same respect should be shown by anyone visiting Brazil, whether for tourism or business. The Brazilian Constitution guarantees free speech, but it follows the modern European perspective: "The limit of free speech is hate speech that incites real-world harm."
This understanding took hold in Brazil when lawmakers recognized how massive hate speech campaigns enabled the Nazis to poison the German population against the Jewish community in the 20th century. Since then, in Brazil, you have the right to free speech-you can freely express your dislike for someone or criticize the government. However, your freedom ends where another person's dignity is harmed. You are as free to exercise your right to free speech as others are to their right to be respected.
So, when Justice Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil orders Twitter to shut down an account spreading fake news and hate speech, he is upholding the Brazilian Constitution. Former President Bolsonaro employed a tactic of flooding the Brazilian internet with fake news to attack his political opponents. It has been fully proven that his party used public funds to pay for Russian and Indian bots to amplify these lies on Twitter, poisoning the minds of Brazilians who acted in good faith.
In 2016, this tactic succeeded because, although our Constitution limits free speech in this way, the use of such techniques on such a large scale was relatively new. Today, Brazilian institutions are more familiar with these tactics, and Justice de Moraes is using the Supreme Court to protect our Republic and our right not to be manipulated by those with the money and resources to exploit social media for their own interests.
Wow, imagine if the US government acted in the best interests of citizens like this!
The fact that most Brazilian x/twitter users understood the court decision and sided with Brazilian justice shows that Elon had no chance of winning this fight.
Orgulho de ser Brasileiro!
Bravo bravo bravo bravo!
Perfect words!
Greetings from Brazil!
Just like Trump, as soon as someone stands up these people who are used to getting their way through financial and PR bullying, they back down.
Kyle, you are missing out on two important distinction here, worth claryfying, if you allow me. Elon did not refuse an order from the Brazilian government, cause the government did not have any involvement with the court's decisions to take those pages down, just as it does not have anything to do with the ongoing investigations regarding the coup attempt on Jan 8th, and is not involved in any shape or form in Elon's latest mess. It was a Supreme Court justice who issued the warrants to take down the pages - again, not simply because of "misinformation" - but because it all links back to the active attempt to overthrow the ticket that had won the election. Lula and his adm never asked twitter anything, nor dictated anything that the judiciary did. You have to remember that parts of the law enforcement and the military in Brazil organized and participated in the coup attempt and, if not for some legalist, loyal and patriotic military high commanders, the coup would have been successful. Our Supreme Court took very seriously the mission of fully unveiling the coup plan and those invoved in the coup attempt, and is using - as it should - its undeniably large, constitutional power to go after these undeniable traitors and to stop any further expansion of this illegal movement - which had and still has the explicit goal of destroying our democracy. We have plenty of free speech in Brazil - with important distinctions, obviously - but we do not believe that you can conspire to destroy democracy as part of protected speech. You cannot use the rights democracy grants you to overthrow democracy itself. So, if Musk had told Modi to "f off", it would not have been the same thing had he told our Supreme Court and its legitimate investigation to do the same. Hope you can include these important distinctions in your upcoming videos about Brazil. Cheers, mate! Been following you for a long time, keep up the good work with Krystal.
Duhhh, the judiciary is part of the government. The 3 parts of a modern democracy, the judiciary, the legislative branch, the executive.
@@twostate7822 Brazil uses the word government to refer to the executive branch, as do some European countries, and it would be equivalent to administration in the USA. Cognates can have a narrower scope, as in Portugal, which is also more similar to the concept of administration.
Quoting from wikipedia "The Federal government of Brazil is defined by the 1988 constitution which defines a tripartite separation of powers into the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government. Aside from those, the country also has the Public Ministry which acts autonomously and has in the past been referred to as the country's fourth branch.
You got right to details , which is rare in this medium.
But please , use the space bar every now and then. Parse it.
@@twostate7822 Duuuh!! --- Try to understand with your stunted intellect. "Government" in Brazil, and many other countries, actually respects the concept of THREE INDEPENDENT POWERS. Unlike the US Supreme court, with it's near fascistic religious interpretations of the Law, the Brazilian Supreme Court acts INDEPENDENTLY from the Executive branch, and is served by the Public Ministry (aka the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office), who investigate the crimes, and provide evidence to the Supreme Court in matters directly related to crimes against the Executive and Legislative branches.
The highly illegal actions of certain members of the military and former Executive branch members of the Bolsonazi administration have already been tried and this is not a subject that the Court took lightly. So when Musky man-baby and his minions used twitter to publish lies about the Coup d'État on Jan 8, it is the Supreme Court's job to denounce that and demand an investigation in the facts by the Brazilian Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (Public Ministry). In Brazil, lies are not protected speech, neither is any type of derogatory, racist or bigoted speech, neither are online threats to any person -- especially to members of any of the three branches of government! This is also true in dozens of countries worldwide, and thus is not unique to Brazil.
Musky and his minions don't get to determine what other people think is hate speech or lies or even what is considered a threat ... and as far as anyone can tell, it was the board of directors at several of Musky man-baby's corporations who demanded he make it right, demanded he stop lying and demanded he stop enabling fascist w*nkers online.
Some people prefer making money to supporting fascists, go figure!!
Freedom of speech is not absolute. No right is absolute. You have the right to be free, but guess what, you get locked up if you break the law. Countries have different laws. One should not try to apply American constitution in other countries.
Promoting conspiracy theories is not an exercise in free speech. Critiquing ideas with ideas that challenge them, is.

"A masterful Gambit, sir!"
This is how governments must treat corporations when doing so in favor of the public good. Back in 1999 when several European countries embraced the Euro in lieu of their individual currencies, many banks still wanted to charge "cross currency" fees even though there were no longer foreign exchanges. The EU fined or threatened to revoke banking licenses and voila....cross currency fees disappeared overnight...ditto with M/C and Visa when they wanted to charge more for debit cards (as a new product) than credit cards even though payment was nearly instantaneous without the float and less credit risk than credit cards....that time around Walmart sued and the exchange backed down....I'm good with companies making fair profits from a competitive product...not so much when they abuse a monopoly position to extract unwarranted rents...like the pharmaceuticals do now with drugs that are decades if not a century old and the R&D has long been recouped...
Proof that regulations with teeth work. Who knew? Right?

Brazilian here. The crazy thing is, he could have used money to sweeten his way but decided to use force. Our Supreme Court is not leftist at all nor even that reliable. There are a few judges there that he could have bought out. But no, Musk allowed far right accounts to dox Supreme Court judges phone numbers and address without consequences. And Bolsonaro, the politicians Musk endorses in Brazil, had a written plan to kidnap the Supreme Court judge, bring him to an unknown location and kill him. Of course the Supreme Court would take the case seriously and Musk got involved by enabling these people in his platform.
Threats and fear from a billionaire = financial terrorism. They mostly get away with it here at home so why not try that abroad?
Kudos to Brazil! This and that song "A queda" performed by Gloria Groove. It's quite catchy.

Today, in any random video about any type of crime, they repeat this same phrase. They planted this and it became a truth in the minds of millions of people. They planted the idea that Lula is connivent with criminals, that he supports them.
