Elon realized Brazilian accounts make up an insanely high number of active accounts on the platform. That user rate dropped by a high enough number to hit like a lead pipe.

Brazilian here, adding context because a lot of news from here do not go oultside .While Elon is cringe, this time, he is indeed the correct one, the judge in question was doing the censoring of account (that is not permitted here), and Elon refused to comply with the Unconstitutional order, the judge asks for a representative, Elon presented one that was immediately threatened arrest (allegedly the common workers of twitter too) he removes the person to impede this happens and after being trapped, the judge bans twitter. Putting a daily fine of $8000 dollars for the common people that access it. PS: about Starlink Elon is not the only owner of the company making the holding of the assets by the judge possible illegal, a ask of impeachment is already in motion to vote...

Why is it not free speech? It's parody not real

@JaeohnEspheras 2 ай бұрын

@@Shawblade There is a difference between impersonating someone as a parody, like in an SNL sketch, and creating AI-generated content that accurately depicts a person with the intent to defame them and sway public opinion by presenting it as "real." In the latter case, you're using a representation of that person committing acts that harm their reputation by making them appear to say or do salacious or criminal things. This is a new issue, and most societies have yet to determine how to handle it. As technology evolves and becomes more accurate, the urgency to address this matter increases. We may need legal requirements to clearly label AI-generated content, ensuring audiences always understand what they are viewing. Let me pose this question: if someone used AI to depict you in a compromising way, making it undetectable to untrained eyes, and this portrayal led to public bullying, would that be considered parody? Could the bully argue that for their defense? What if you lost friends, relationships, money, jobs, or opportunities because of this? Or worse, what if you faced threats and attacks due to this representation? Elon is smart, he knew what he was doing, he is too ego driven to admit it.
