Freedom of speech, they say. Well, the justice system of       Brasil ordered the people that helped the coup de etat attempt menacing       on X be identified. X refused. The president menaced X be banned from       brasil. X was angry and menaced Brasil, but at the end, they had to give       in. Three hundred people revealed is less than losing an entire country       to the network. Lots of revenue lost. More or less this is the summary,       inaccuracies are expected, my memory is not perfect.              The reporters on the radio said that they themselves are all identified.       If a paper says something illegal, they are punished by the justice       system. Why have the people saying illegal things in X to be protected       by anonymity? Social Media has to he held accountable, same as other       Media such as TV, Radio, or the Press.              --       Cheers, Carlos.       ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
