What? The "strongman defender of freedum of spech" Melon Husk is actually a weak little baby that folded like a wet cardboard box? Wow, I'm shocked.

He cares more about being allowed to shit his worthless opinion all over the world than he does the idiots he was forced to block.
"Okay Brazil, I'll block them as long as you let me continue to spout racist horseshit daily."
It's never about the free speech of anyone but Musk.
It is a stupid world where people pay to have a megalomaniac billionaire's megaphone inserted into their daily lives.
Well, nobody is forced to use that cesspool of a website.
Exactly. I think that's what the sentiment of the person you're replying to was as well.
Plus... It's a weird hill to die on. 1 user account was inciting the military to commit a coup. The other was used to dox an investigator that was working on the coup incitement messages.
Another case that demonstrates they'll always comply with the law in the end. You just need to make sure your laws and your legislation are rock solid.
They'll comply with the law if there are consequences.
Has to be consequences first. Ones that actually matter. And are enforced swiftly. Like there were here.
Must be nice.....

And enforcement of said legislation. Brazil won because they actually cut him off.
Wasn't it a case of them ordering Elon to comply with the law, he played silly buggers with them by meming a response, so they started to take his assets away and he was like... wait no shocked Pikachu I will comply.
And that's why means matter, not just the ends. If Twitter was banned under the premise of being a Nazi nest (as it is), it would be still banned. But for that you'd need solid legislation to force platforms to identify and kick out the Nazi. Not just an "ackshyually you need a representative, you don't have one so Twitter isn't operating here any more".
