I sincerely hope this attempt of a technocrat oligarchy to be the downfall of social media as we know it, we lived without them, everyone has been on and off at some point even after joining in, even younger generations, so everyone knows we can easily unplug with net positive impact in our lives.
And that's all it takes for their power to vanish like smoke in the wind.
big stretch, this is only twitter, and with plenty of reasoning, history, and back and forward, where twitter has time after time ignored brazillian's court requests.
Elon is strongarming his positiion in Brazil because he has no property in brazil, no tesla factories, no twitter offices... All he wants in Brazil is political influence and data, to exploit Amazon, look into starlink's presence at the Amazon, all the illegal mining operations overlap with starlink's antennas and signal, plus, even the brazillian military in the amazon is now on starlink, so crucial national defense data is at the fingertips of authoritarian billionaire, plus he's got the illegal miners community all pro-neoliberalism.
"censor political opponents" is the most intellectually dishonest take, and in it lies the whole root of the discussion. Said opponents' accounts were asked to be shut down, not because they are opponents, but because they were being used to commit crimes against the electoral justice. The Supreme Court is a lifetime seat meant to not be caught in bi-yearly electoral politics, so it can oversee it, this current judge was the appointed by draw the judge of the whole "fake news inquiry", like every thing at the supreme court, he was also the elected president of the Supreme Court at the time of the previous elections (he was elected president by his colleagues in the supreme court). If the president at the time, or the drawn judge, was to be pro-coup, then we wouldn't have this whole debacle and elon musk would probably be CEO of Brazil at this moment.
Since elon musk became owner of Twitter, brazillian court has struggled significantly more to obtain data from criminal accounts (a famous example being hate speech accounts that were not shut down, nor "doxxed" to the court, since according to twitter the hate speech didn't break TOS), to a point where it became impossible, so the court had to act, this situation has been boiling for a few years with Elon trying to strongarm his will in the country, he raised the bets, STF's called his bluff.
