Despite years of campaigning for impunity by the Bolsonaros and the American far right, a Supreme Court ruling has increased social media corporations' accountability for internet crimes.
all users persecutable by brazilian law. its not about internet access or the platforms themselves, its about what you say and do publicly. the internet is just an extension of it.
said criminal or racist shit on twitter, and courts caught wind of it? believe it or not straight to court. most people get away with it, but its harder if you are famous but not rich enough to dismiss the accusations.
So you are telling me that when Israel makes their definition of “anti-semitism” illegal that everyone in the entire world that uses the internet has to abide by it? That doesn’t seem desirable or sane at all.
That is the natural extension of your line of thinking is it not? Which users are “persecutable” by brazilian/Israeli law? If it’s not just the citizens of Brazil (which i’m ok with, obviously a nation should be able to pass laws that apply to their citizens) but everyone “persecutable,” doesn’t that mean that a country that is sufficiently able to persecute anyone in the world is now justified to enforce their laws upon the entire world?

its really not.
brazil is not israel. brazil can’t meddle anywhere else without serious consequences.
and yes, it would suck if it was a nazi country, but its not.
