Did not expect Brazil to be the hero we need right now, but I’m here for it.
Brasil, please ban facebook. First twitter then facebook. Fuck the gready corporate assholes. Someone needs to make a first step and create a precedent, we need this. Social media will be (already is) the downfall of our civilization.
Is there any way to hide embedded images on lemmy?
These are pretty annoying.
Meta’s anti-LGBT rules are closely knit to their ending the fact-checking: It is science denialism and linked to racism and vaccine skepticism.
Homosexuality and gender identity are not considered mental illnesses, Sex is not a binary, and Race is not connected to intelligence.
Bigots never liked science on these three, and now they use political power to impose their narrative.
Meta never moderated such discourse. Nor reddit nor twitter nor youtube. There was no censorship to end here. What this is, it is a free pass to punch down trans and gay people. It is incitement to violence, and Zuckerberg and Musk must go to the gallows for it.
Don’t get me started on the toxic harassment these platforms have allowed against African and Carribean reparation activists, how they have destroyed the lives of feminists, and how they have named all Palestinians terrorists.
At this point race realists and gender essentialists have ensured political and technological control of the narrative.
There is no room for debating sealioning trolls on this one. If they don’t understand the social dynamics against gender/sex/minorities at this moment, they are no better than brownshirts.
It is permabans and hooks and jabs all the way, for every single weird freak that backs this deranged hateful shit.
Brazil has been on it lately. At least with sticking it to tech bros
Truth. Also stop deforestation
Yeah, they found out they could win, when they stuck it to X and straight up banned them until they complied.
Just like the big tech companies have different ToS for EU consumers.
Mad respect to them, but it should be normal. But it’s not.
Also like California passing public health laws and companies deciding it is easier to comply to the entire U.S. instead of duplicating product lines.
All the BRICS have. Brazil just stands out, because its not a country we’ve flagged as “Evil Enemy Run By Inhuman Savages”.
It also helps that unlike the R and the C in BRICS, they aren’t imperialists threatening and/or invading their neighbours. Brazil is a good world citizen.
As long as it keeps censoring its citizens, everthing fine! 🙄
I think you might be confused. They were talking about a country other than the US. 😂
Eh?
Fact checking is censorship apparently.
Kind weird to think that’s what’s happening tbh
No wonder with all these off-duty cops I keep hearing about.
Not all, India is in BRICS and they are part of the problem in the tech world.
because its not a country we’ve flagged as “Evil Enemy Run By Inhuman Savages”.
Unless the subject is Amazon deforestation, in which case we have to stop these inhuman savages from destroying this global patrimony (mine). Please don’t ask who’s buying the cattle and soy being grown there or running the mining companies or where I got all this fertile land.
Reminds me of people who said Amazon deforestation warranted a “military intervention.” Hey, be funny is trumpet added another country to his want-to-invade list, wouldn’t it? Yet folks still feel bothered when I say people in rich countries don’t really care all that much about poorer ones.
Idk which video was, but Brazil tremendously improved on the Amazon deforestation issue. https://youtu.be/6gI-wKbKfeI
Yes, a lot of things changed for the better once they got rid of Bolsonaro
Not on my 2025 bingo card I’ll admit, but I’m here for it.
And I love them for it.
Brazil’s based, now?
Enjoy it while it lasts. We like to immitate the US so in 2026 it’s very likely that we’ll elect a reactionary idiot again.
Giving 72h to reply on a Friday is a nice touch ;-)
“there is none”. Explained in 10 seconds. Happy weekend!
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine Brazil apparently propping up the internet, but huge swathes of twitter shutdown when Brazil banned it a while back, for a short time.
It’s easy to be bold when the US president is weak. I don’t think they’d ban X if Trump was president at the time.
So strong he needs both hands to drink a glass of water?
Or is it the way he literally shits himself in the middle of a rally? Oh wait, of course! Cause the only thing strong about that dementia riddled moron is his stench.
Imagine looking at Trump and thinking, “Wow, him strong!” Fucking weird, I tell ya what…
Because he’d do what about another country banning a privately owned website?
Whatever his sugar daddy tells him to do
Hahahahahaha, that was a good one. Do another one where you pretend Trump wasn’t the biggest, weakest idiot ever to hold this office.
I don’t know, Buchanan let the civil war happen?
Mine and everyone else’s lifetime though for sure.
Lmfao traitor filth trump is the weakest piece of useless shit to ever disgrace the office of the presidency.
According to the extrajudicial notice, this allows users to associate sexual identity to “a mental illness or abnormality” and allows “the defense of professional limitations based on gender.”
Why does anyone associate with this site. It’s beyond me.
I feel like it’s just boomers at this point
“We don’t have to pretend anymore.”
Brazil gives Meta 72 hours to explain new fact-check policies>
Meta: we don’t have any
They do, tho. It’s community notes. If multiple people agree on a correction, especially if those people usually disagree with eachother, it becomes the note
“we hate gays”
How many bribes is Meta going to have to pay out?
Community note: Bribes are illegal and won’t be tolerated in sparkly clean Brazil.
Brazil needs to solve their high homicide rate before demanding things from Meta. Serving the people instead of being petty.
You know, countries can do more than one thing at a time
Yeah, cause those are totally related…somehow…really, I promise!
What the fuck are you smoking??? Please don’t share. Seriously.
You need to solve your downvote rate before posting.
Your fallacies-to-words ratio is outstanding.
For some completely unrelated reason, I suddenly have this song stuck in my head…
