Brazil's X ban is sending lots of people to Bluesky

One of the linked articles said it boiled down to X being ordered to censor political opponents of those in power. They chose not to. I’m glad.

Now, traffic is going to Bluesky. I wonder if this means that Bluesky has or will be offered the same choice. We might see what the character of that organization is by what choice they make.

At this point, I'm only mildly surprised by the pro-censorship sentiments which are prevalent here at HN. Still, for those with an open mind...

Read the NY times article; it is not amazing well done but serves to show how unaccountable the orders of the judge are.

Then read the orders from the judge (as claimed by X). "Secretly ban this sitting senator within a few hours"
