aws, gcp, azure (the ones I work with), they don't provide a off the shelf solution to block after some budget ammount. This is not aceptable.

what most otimist people don't undestant is that AI is a capitalist dream, work without proletariat, everything automated to serve the rulling class, but anyway, we can always eat the rich.

there is no "average worker", this is a statistical concept, life in europe is way better them in US for low income people, they have healthcare, they have weekends , they have public tranportation, they have schools and pre-schools , they lack some space since europe is full populated but overall, no low income (and maybe not so low) will change europe for USA anytime.

brazil is a functional liberal democracy, current presidente is left wing, rightfull elected in 2022 by a process recognized by the world, including USA en EU, China, russia and all. Legislative has a majority of right wing elected deputies, juditiary is choosen by open access civil service examination with some reasonable requirements (law degree), except the ones in suppreme court which are selected by elected president (like in USA), they do not stay for life, although and must quit when reach 75 years old

thats the system, like in USA, the elected presidente chose the supreme court judges, and the judge in question was appointed by a right wing president in 2017 when current one is a left wing from a diferent party. so, yes, influence, but in this situation twitter is acting as a rogue company and refuses to comply with the law, it can fight in the court it they do not agree, but as in most countries, is not up to the criminal to decide what is legal and what is not, for that most countries have a due legal process, as is the case for everything that is happening

this ex-military guy attemped a coup, to be appointed as presidente in spite of election results, they literally asked for a "military intervention" , the coup failled because US military was not onboard as they where in 1964 when a violent , blody and corrupt dictatorship was in place , with a US navy ship in Rio de Janeiro harbor. 2022 attempt was much like trump attempted in 2020 but now civil society , and the world reacted and uphold the election

It is up to the criminals to decide if they will comply with the law, if they do not, the law has consequences, this is very simple and straightforward, same as in US, you do not comply with a legal order, you suffer the consequences, the company is not complying with our contry law ? it should not operate in brazil

it is not up to the criminals to decide what is or is not legal, is up to the judges, if they do not agreed, the law is clear, you can fight in court, but you must comply

it's not the case in Brazil, most issues requests to take down content are related to the usual nazi, pedo, violence threads and simple and plain lies proven by overwhelming contrary evidence , everything is open to discussion by the involved parties, no secret tribunal exist in brazil, like some us patriot act tribunals

the site is not blocked, the question is not comply with brazilian law, if they comply the site will be unblocked, thats a simple and direct matter of not complying with a court order, is not up to twitter to decide what is legal or not in our country, is up to the juditiary branch of governement, Which is separated from executive branch, much like the US and all liberal democracies , the supreme court judges are appointed by the elected president, like in US, but they do not stay all life, must quit at 75 years old. The judge in question was appointed by a righ wing presidente in 2017, current presidente is a left wing from a oposite party.

twitter is not complying with brazilian law, as stated in the constitution, and within brazilian legal framework, the supreme court has the legal atribution of defining what is legal or not, juditiary branch of government is separeted from executive and the judge in question was appointed by a right wing president in 2016 , current one is left wing, so everything acording to the law, telegram had this issue in 2020, they comply and now they can operate, as will twitter after comply with a simple court order, wich is required to have a legal representative in brazil, there is no question if it can or cannot operate, it can, just need to have someone to be responsable for the company and comply with the law
