Phew, I thought I was the only one here lol. This whole situation has me wondering what Brazil is trying to do that they're so afraid will be talked about on X.
if you still think that this is about free speech, you either didn't read about what's happening in Brazil or you can't understand what you read
Literally according to Time Magazine, "It marks an escalation in the monthslong feud between Musk and de Moraes over free speech, far-right accounts and misinformation."

elmo is trying to make it about free speech and if time is reporting what's happening they have to write about what x's defense is
did you completely read that article you linked and said to yourself "oh, they're trying to silence dissent in Brazil and Elmo is fighting for the right to freedom of expression" ?
Yes. Did you read the article? What do you think this dispute is about, if not Brazil's attempts to censor content on X?
🤦
Guess not lol
