Brazil first, Australia 2nd and hopefully EU third nail in the coffin for that clown's platform

Oh, X is banned in Brazil and Australia? Or what happened in those countries?

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 68 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Banned in Brazil, forced to pay 10% of global earnings per day until stopping misinformation posting in Australia.

10% of global earnings? Isn't it losing money? Makes it sound like they're paying him.

Earnings is incoming money before any expenditures

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Same as revenue?

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 19 points 3 months ago

Earnings is different from profits.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Thanks! Good to hear.

X is forbidden from offering services in Brazil until and unless it complies with the local courts (the company refused an order to suspend some accounts, then wouldn't appoint a local representative as Brazilian law requires). Local ISPs are required to block it. I don't know about Australia.

Thanks! Last I heard X chose to comply with Brazil's requirements.
