After several american conspiracy theories about elections came to brazil, it seems that at least one is going the other way.
Brazil has a robust system for voting without paper ballots, all votes cast at a voting station (no vote by mail), but there are right wing complains for several years that the system is not secure and that it can be manipulated.
However, they never complain when they win nor participate actively in the audits that are made before the elections to ensure that the system is safe.
And, each year a right wing asshole propose a new stupid way to introduce paper ballots again.
If you leave before big brotherās speech ends, if your participation in the five minutes hate falls short of proper usage of free speech there will be consequences ā¦
Do you remember when they hired some expert from Argentina to prove that Mr. Lula stole the election? Even statistic students debunked that comedy sketch.
Also email spam filters. Any Nigerian prince requests and boner pill advertisement should be forwarded directly to Musk, and if heās somehow filtering them out and not reading them heās violating the Constitution.
I am not on xitter, but I hang around an electronics forum (probably the most famous one), quite well moderated, where off topic/politics/religion/pseudoscience etc. is frowned upon and usually results in the thread being locked and some bans.
Even in this ācleanā technical environment, I have a list of blocked users rivaling my personal contact list and continuously growing?
Why?
Some people are rude, some are a-holes, some are petulant or annoyingly pedant, many are, simply, bigots.
I donāt need to read their stuff or interact with them.
A way to avoid unwanted interactions is the very basic requirement of a common place.
If I am at a party, I can move to a different corner of the room, or take a leaf from TMBGās book.
Online, I need a filter.
Itās not a joke, just arrogant solipsism. Of course X canāt work without a way to remove people, but if Musk doesnāt like what someone is saying he can just kick them off the site. This is only saying that nobody else should have the power to block because nobody else matters. Itās his place and his rules and how dare anyone want different.
I mean Iām not gonna follow him on any of those either. Iām done with billionaire social media where they can take their ball away if they want to change the rules yet again and you donāt like it.
No more. I havenāt signed up to a shiny new service in years.
Iām surprised Twitter isnāt under investigation from Labor (both), equality, and FCC. If itās not, why not?
Prima facie a bunch of cases to answer thereā¦
This is the main reason he pouring money into puppet. He hopes his Trojan horse Vance will invoke the 25th and cancel all federal investigations into his house of cards. To him, the sky is falling so it doesnāt matter to throw millions here and there to keep the scam running.
If Vance doesnāt deliver, then Musk, in his capacity as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), will recommend abolishing those pesky agencies.
