Brazil to fine X users using VPN to bypass ban $8,874 a day.
How, exactly, does Brazil intend to discover which individuals might be using a VPN to access X?
He also asked Google and Apple to remove VPN apps from the stores.
In a few hours lets compare and contrast the comments of this thread to the thread where the same Judge banned X/Twitter.
So start using a Brazil node when I connect to my VPN? Got it.
If Chinese government cannot prevent its citizens accessing all banned web services via the great firewall , why Brazil thinks they can do a better job?
It is just all talk. As long as you can afford the VPN service, you can access X.com
This subreddit: WTF I HATE VPNS NOW.
This is crazy! Please stop cheering this on just because Elon is involved! This is a fucking slippery slope for the Brazilian government.
Reddit went from being a lot like Twitter where subs like The_Donald often made the top of all, to being so extreme left leaning that they cheer on a country going full Iran or China against X/Twittter in just ~4 years.
And people think that shift was organic and not mostly the result of activists taking over control of the platform.
Your reminder that this started because Elon didn’t want to censor the accounts of people from Brazil…yet on reddit the judge that issued those demands is being praised for it, just to give you an idea of the hypocrite pigs around here and just how much they really care about censorship 
Russia, China, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Venezuela and Turkmenistan. And now Brazil.
I wonder what all these countries have in common.
For all the folks hating on X (I loathe it personally), I just have to point out that Brazil is not only trying to censor social media, they also are banning VPNs from the app stores.
Brazil are not the good guys here, however appealing “banning X” appears to be.
Serious question: If you are traveling to Brazil and not a citizen, can you still be fined?
For example, could the eagles and packer players (and traveling fans) be criminally charged and fined for using Twitter while there?
World governments are losing their minds trying to figure out how to regulate the information that their citizens can access. The average salary in Brazil is $1,770 a month.
The judge is throwing an even bigger tantrum than Elon Musk.
The international image of Brazil is going to get damaged if they go on with this, because the final impression is that the brazilian judge is completely out of his mind while Elon Musk gives no fucks.
Thank god we Brazilians didn’t vote for a dictatorial censorship government oh no wait
Remember, kids. It’s no fascism if it’s against someone I don’t like.
Extreme left wing redditors are a bunch of hypocrites
Is the government of Brazil so fragile that assholes on twitter pose a threat?
Just posting this here because is spreading like fire: BRAZIL WALKED BACK ON BLOCKING VPNs
Yes, it was abusrd, that’s why they walked back. “X” ban continues to roll forward though.
Alright, now I’m siding with muskrat on this. Fuck this kind of overreach and fuck everyone trying to balkanize and control the internet.
