What if the social media platform, X was no longer available in your country. Would you miss it? Well Brazil is about to find out.
The social media platform was formerly called Twitter. It was bought by Elon Musk for $44 billion and was then taken private and rebranded as X. That social media platform was suspended in Brazil on September 1. Are these tech giants disrespecting the laws of sovereign countries by allowing lies and disinformation to post without fact checking?
Since the days of Moses and the Ten Commandments, do not bear false witness against a neighbor (aka: no telling lies about them, and no forgery or bribery) was understood to be absolutely wrong. Now free speech absolutists are upending that social norm. Stay tuned!
