 Elon Musk’s X Backs Down in Brazil

NYT quote:

"Now, X’s lawyers said the company had done exactly what Mr. Musk vowed not to: take down accounts that a Brazilian justice ordered removed because the judge said they threatened Brazil’s democracy."

</end quote>

Tell me again why you don't need Nostr or decentralized tech?!  How Elon is going to save us and we can trust one individual to own the public square?

 My understanding is that they refused to do it without due process, not that it was a blanket refusal. Any org with a viable head to cut off or throat to choke will bend to govt.
