How many is a Brazilian? /s

What a stupid own-goal from twitter, all they had to do was hire a lawyer in Brazil, but instead they've lost the entire country...

Nobody would take the job, AFAIK they would have been held in contempt and jailed if they did.

In Brazil (again, AFAIK) your company needs a representative in the country to operate, if your company does illegal things it's the representative that gets jailed.

Brazil had a terrible coup that they will not want to repeat, and that is written into their constitution.....so fuck Musk and his shitty app.

Oh, fair enough then. Makes sense.

If you can't even find a lawyer willing to serve as your legal representative, chances are you're up to some shady shit.

I can see how this could be potentially problematic, but at least in this case it's working wonders.

It's kinda the goal though, destroy twitter so it's no longer a tool for public discourse that's open.

Push everyone off into fragmented replacements, so the effect of public coordination is dampened. And Musk is too narrow in thinking to have ever valued Brazil for his secondary goals.

Who’s destroying Xitter, though?

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Musk. The entire goal was to break it from the beginning.

lawyer in Brazil

Greenwald? I wonder which side he would be on.

Maybe they could try the Fediverse, but not Mastodon preferably (need a good first impression!)
