A standoff between Elon Musk and Brazil escalated on Sunday when a Supreme Court judge opened an inquiry into the billionaire after Musk said he would reactivate accounts on the social media platform X that the judge had ordered blocked.

Musk, the owner of X and a self-declared free speech absolutist, has challenged a decision by Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordering the blocking of certain accounts. He has said X, formerly known as Twitter, would lift all the restrictions because they were unconstitutional and called on Moraes to resign.

Neither Musk, X nor Brazilian authorities have disclosed which social media accounts were ordered blocked. X first posted about the order to block on Saturday but it was not immediately clear when the order was issued.

Moraes is investigating "digital militias" that have been accused of spreading fake news and hate messages during the government of former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro and is also leading an investigation into an alleged coup attempt by Bolsonaro.

You're absolute missing Popper's point with this infographic. He doesn't say that anybody preaching intolerance should be jailed, he says specifically those that incite violence. Those that "answer arguments with fists and guns" not random rightists spouting bs on Twitter. If there's a legitimate case against them for inciting violence, rebellion, etc, it should be done in an open court room, not behind closed doors and without criminal defense.

You're a clown and you're supporting clownish shit in the name of fear.

Right back at you with your "any resistance to dangerous disinformation equals actual fascism" bullshit like a high school freshman who read about philosophy for the first time and now considers himself an expert on life, the universe, and everything 🙄

Objectively not. You made a strawman argument. Learn how to argue thoughtfully.

You're clearly not worth my time
