 Exactly. 

This platform does not seek to impose the laws of the United States on other countries – we obey the laws of that country in that country. 

The problem in Brazil is that @AlexandreFiles we were being told to break Brazilian laws and that we would be sanctioned if we told anyone about it! 
 True. 

I was just with some friends who were saying that their feed had become more toxic lately. 

Turns out they had been sharing examples of toxic posts with each other, which makes the algorithm think you love toxic posts. 
 Why not America?

 I keep telling people that this guy @alexandre is the dictator of Brazil, NOT a judge. He just wears that as a costume. 

He has supreme executive, judicial and legislative power, aka dictator. 

The cloak he wears is to trick fools in the West into thinking that he’s a judge. 
 The current Brazilian administration likes to wear the cloak of a free democracy, while crushing the people under its boot

 This is a tough call and will make some people upset, but, all things considered, I think California should probably pass the SB 1047 AI safety bill.

For over 20 years, I have been an advocate for AI regulation, just as we regulate any product/technology that is a potential risk to the public. 
 California also passed a bill providing free medical care to illegals that took effect n January this year. 

Seems like half of Earth should move to California, given all the incentives to do so.
