Business mogul Elon Musk, owner of the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has taken on Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice Alexandre De Moraes for wanting to censor content spread via the internet. “Why are you demanding so much censorship in Brazil?,” Musk asked the magistrate.

    In this situation there is only one side that will lose: Elon Musk.

    Firstly: all contracts signed between the Republic and Starlink are being reviewed, terminated or canceled;

    Second: the Legislative Branch of the Federation is already speeding up voting on a Law to contain abuse of platforms and social media;

    Third: more than half, I would say two thirds, of the Brazilian population is starting to see platform X as an attacker of Brazilian sovereignty;

    Fourth: the insertion of BYD and GWM products into the Brazilian automobile and mining market will be supported by the Brazilian State and well regarded by the population.

    It seems to me that Elon Musk bought a big fight for his companies. I begin to understand why his business is devalued and precarious, including the old Twitter.

    Do you have any proof of Lula's corruption? Or have you joined the group of liars that prevail among the fascist hordes?

    Don't talk about what you don't know, Chilean!

    “Biden Says U.S. Is Considering Dropping Its Case Against Assange...”

    A pity. Anybody that aids Putin and Xi deserves the ultimate penalty...

    “The High Court in London ruled on Tuesday that Julian Assange, the embattled WikiLeaks founder, cannot be immediately extradited to the United States, saying American authorities must offer assurances about his treatment first, including over his First Amendment rights and protection from the death penalty.”

    I agree with imoyaro!

    Meanwhile today my family are enjoying freshly harvested peaches with Chile Champagne.

    The authentic Italian Bellini, like the one first made in Harry's Bar in Venice, combine one part fresh peach puree with two parts Prosecco.

    An absolutely marvelous beverage!

    Which eminiate entirely from Chicureo the 'malignant narcissist'
    Skippy was never here, and your not all here
    Skippy has never attempted to steal my valor, only yourself has made such an attempt; and the last time I looked I was hale and hearty.

    Meanwhile, the proof of who I am is here at https://imgur.com/a/WDPeU
    In this picture of me with my tankard in March 2018. It shows my name, my rank, squadron 18, of the RAF in 1963. It is the only bona fide image of me on the web, any other claims will fail for lack of authenticity.

    “Paranoid Personality
    At the other end of the spectrum, furthest removed from health, is the paranoid personality showing clear-cut megalomania. Paranoid personalities believe that people are not only looking at them but also talking about them, even conspiring against them, because they are very special and very important. They may believe they have extraordinary powers. When they become unable to distinguish fantasy from fact, their insanity is clear. In that case, we are dealing with full-fledged paranoia-a psychotic rather than a neurotic condition-and the treatment differs. Nevertheless, even in such extreme cases, we find most of the characteristics of narcissism: extreme grandiosity, a marked discrepancy between the ego image and the actual self, arrogance, insensitivity to others, denial, and projection.”
