 Tomorrow's News:

Tomorrow it will be reported that the Internet will become disconnected from and unavailable in Brazil because all service providers (platforms, websites, and ISPs) cannot take the legal risk foisted upon them by the Brazilian judicial rulings.  Goodbye Brazil, it was nice knowing you. 
 What happened in Brazil? 
 Like in France, Rumble pulled out of Brazil rather than acting on censorship orders from Brazilian judges. 
 Ah gotcha, I missed that news. I've never used Rumble.

The rug continues to get pulled any way they can 😔 
 Well that news is only about 5 hours old so most people haven't heard it yet. 
 Wut? 
 Isn't @fiatjaf from there? rip 
 Didn't @NVK or someone else (can't remember who) do Internet over radio or something?

Works over just about anything. Except smoke signals, the bandwidth is too low. 
 Yes. 
 Any nostriches in Brazil? 
 Why? 
 When I said "Tomorrow's News" I didn't mean I had inside knowledge of something going to be released tomorrow. I wasn't even thinking of that interpretation. I was trying to make a cheeky sarcastic prediction about where all this censorship and disconnection is headed. Sorry for the confusion.
