Honestly, I don’t even blame Trump for this particular tactic. I blame his base.
They are all whores for nonsensical conspiracy theories. They literally reject the reality in front of their face for “pizza parlors are all running pedophile sex fight club franchises in their basements owned by George Soros!” type shit. If he didn’t say it, they would and probably already did run with something similar in their echo chambers.
In a highly unusual move, Justice Moraes also said that any person in Brazil who tried to still use X via common privacy software called a virtual private network, or VPN, could be fined nearly $9,000 a day.
So I’m thinking back to the times I’ve used it. I want to say I assume they have a way to track where this is being used based on referrer, but I don’t remember clearly enough. I don’t think a given token has to be tied to any URL. You just get a token and validate it with a service.
But people who use it on a daily basis could probably answer more definitively. I’ve just used it a couple of times and didn’t bother retaining it because it’s easy to figure out when you need it.
This effect is to get [Ross] to stop downloading and disclosing stolen criminal records to protect public safety.
Why him specifically? That's a lot of effort to stop one guy doing what literally anybody with some time and willpower could do? Surely they have bigger problems right now? Fucking pathetic.
Something should haunt him. without ignoring everything else, Donny’s opponents should hammer on one thing, maybe this, until he apologizes and fires people involved.
We need to prove to the world that he’s not allowed to behave badly without having to address it.
A search Friday on X showed hundreds of Brazilian users inquiring about VPNs that could potentially enable them to continue using the platform by making it appear they were logging on from outside the country.
There is something that most news articles aren’t paying attention to: the judge requested Google and Apple to remove VPN apps from their marketplaces. Not just apply fines to those who dare to use VPNs in order to access X, but removing the VPNs altogether. I mean, I use OpenVPN Client for making a LAN to connect my smartphone and my laptop together (so, for example, I can use KDE Connect between a smartphone over mobile network and a laptop over cable internet). I don’t even have an X account, but a decision focused on that platform is extending its reaches beyond the intended target, affecting those who use VPN for professional and technical purposes.
