    Countries in the Middle East block social media - bad.

    Brazil blocks X - good.

    Talk about double standards… it’s censorship either way and it’s not good.

      X is no more a social media… It’s a rogue social media not following the rules of the country it operate in.

      You talks about double standards… Try first to not mixing totally not related root cause. Censoring vs Legals.

      X could have been able to avoid that if the company had proper leadership in place.

      X decided to close its offices in order to not have a legal representative to answer for certain inquiries. That happened after some people were found breaking the law by doxing and illegal elections advertising, judges asking X to take that down, and X refusing. This is going back and forth for 2 years, so it’s fair to say they won’t comply.
