Good. No more propaganda from them in Brazil.
Do you think that their intention is to free people from propaganda?
Of course not, just competing propaganda.
Do you think that preventing propaganda is a legitimate reason to block people from communicating?
Yes. Some ideas have absolutely no place being allowed in society to any degree.
Then how are people to debunk them?
Besides, if you want to live in China or North Korea, be my guest.
By debunking them. I don’t understand the confusion.
For someone called suicide truth bomber, you really don’t have any goddamned idea what objective, metaphysical truth even is, do you? Like, you wouldn’t know it if someone shot you in the face over it. Clearly. I mean, you just… don’t know. You can’t figure out what truth even is.
I asked:
You answered:
I responded:
Yours is the reasoning of those regimes. Ideas deemed unfit must blocked to keep them out of sight of the citizenry. They cannot debunk what they are prohibited from speaking about. This is what we are now facing in the rest of the world because powerful people desire a global China Model.
So, those who dream to shut down Musk proprietary social network, through their NYT outlet condemn those who did exactly that, just because it was not them.
Funny :)
I don't think they really want to shut down X just like I don't think they really fear Trump
At least they want to control all possible social media.
Technocrat Zionist Musk is one of them. There's either a war between factions who want to control the globe or this is theater to give him legitimacy
That's why there's VPN.
Nope.
That's just words. They have no ability to confirm or control.
They sure as shit do.
No they don't. They might give fines to those with social audience. So those in Brazil shouldn't register with their real names to avoid being harassed with fines.
VPNs are not very private. The VPN can verify all of their network activity to the Brazilian authorities.
Precisely. You have to trust the policies of VPN companies, which I don't.
The purpose of VPN is to protect you against ISP not the government. For protection against government I don't know what you would need to do.
I think it's not relevant for this topic because Chinese use VPN despite the bans, and software piracy is still as popular as ever.
Software piracy in China is certainly irrelevant.
