X, owned by Elon Musk, claims Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes threatened to arrest one of the company's legal representatives if it did not remove content.
Is it not Musks decision? I thought the situation was more akin to “Your house your rules? I don’t like your rules so I’m packing a bag and running away.”
They tried a coup (with the military and the brazilian rural oligarchs), so it’s not “censorship”, it’s enforcing that Brazil is a democratic (even if very flawed) country. The constitution give this right to the supreme court and him (he was the supreme judge for the last election, so dealing with the aftermath of the election is his obligation), so it’s a lot more nuanced than you might say.
Edit: If Musk doesn’t respect our laws, let him get out of here haha.
Moraes have a case in his hand (the tried coup last year), because he was the supreeme judge for the elections. He judged that these people tried to help the coup and demanded that their accounts are suspended (entirely cool with the constitution), as musk doesn’t want that, they’re gone from Brazil and might be blocked countrywide.

You’re defending censoring people who are speaking out against the government. How is that a good thing?

Is it censorship, or stopping (actual) fake news and lies because Musk fired Twitters moderation team?

Censoring incorrect information is still censorship
Sure but in this case the judge is not censoring merely incorrect information. It’s written in the article that I assume you haven’t read
The judge ordered to remove the account of a militant group that attempted a coup after the party they support lost the election
This is exactly the kind of thing that should be censored. Anti democracy groups
This is hands down one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard…
It’s also 100% true
