A Brazilian justice just ordered Apple and Google to ban not only X but also any VPN app. Thereās also a $10k/day fine for any person using a VPN to access X. Unbelievable.
Discussion
Who would they know, tho
Insanity. At least is set in Reais and at the pace they are trying to destroy the country soon R$50k wonāt get you muchā¦
Why is unbelievable?
Anything you can name from internet is banned and filtered in my country.
Telegram, YouTube, Twitter/X, TikTok, Whatsapp, Facebook, Viber, Instagram, Spotify, Quera, Reddit,....
Just name it
Anything that is not banned from inside, bans us from outside to comply with the US sanctions.
You should be proud of your gov .. they care for you
Are you able to use a VPN to access these services?
I donāt understand the $10k/day fine for using a VPN. Unless the VPN you use is compromised and is actively working with the government enforcing the fines?
This a VPN. Our internet problems are beyond comprehension. nostr:nevent1qqsvh0yehs60fr8mcs8wfjk9v89q9t623w0mfvrw0g6wrpd7dqv5dvgpzemhxue69uhkvun9deejumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6q3qcpazafytvafazxkjn43zjfwtfzatfz508r54f6z6a3rf2ws8223qxpqqqqqqzr28uwr
Glad to see you on Nostr!
Some people still believe we're living in a free country, but the reality is far different. Brazil is heading toward even darker times.
It's always darkest before dawn, that's how people learn to value their freedoms.
NOSTR turning into a plan A for many!

What is so ridiculous about this is the ease of bypassing this. Portable routers with VPN support obsoletes these useless bans.
It's not easy, at least for the vast majority of users who have their SIM card linked to their CPF and have no idea what a portable router is
By this logic, the vast majority of users won't know about VPNs?.
It isn't a huge leap for users who currently use VPNs to know about portable routers
Quando falavam que esse lugar ia virar uma Venezuela a galera achou que era meme
Citizens should be proud of Brazil gov .. they are opening the pathways to trustless web - #nostr ... No seriously .. more countries should follow the suite ..asap
As for privacy (aka VPN ) , they were the immune response to web of trust ( Google and Facebook being the prime KYC clerks ) .. in trustless web , anonymity is default choice !
Btw ..I am super amazed by X supporters on this thread š .. why ? Isn't nostr good enough for y'all
Essa desgraƧa tƔ virando Venezuela. Thanks god for NOSTR and BTC.
Does x block tor connections?
It might be unbelievable but itās not going to stop many people IMO.
Itās not āa Brazilian Justiceā
It is Alexandre de Moraes. A psychopathic, power hungry criminal. š
I'm sorry I cannot like your note under my real name
Is this true??? It's extreme!!! What's going on in this world... gloomy days are coming!
great. just join nostr, it's more geen on this side anyway
also, obviously wtf
A Brazilian justice just ordered Apple and Google to ban not only X but also any VPN app. Thereās also a $10k/day fine for any person using a VPN to access X. Unbelievable.
Me telling that tyrannical asshole to go fuck himself
Insanity. Sad for a few hundred million people.
But... don't need a VPN for NOSTR, just saying
Weird that the world got to such a place that millions of people will allow one person to āorderā how they have to live. One day the millions will realize they can just laugh at and mock the one.
Question: Are Judge Alexandre de Moraes' actions unlawful and unconstitutional in Brazil? I fail to see how they could not be, tbh
In theory yes, but in practice the law is whatever people can get away with.
Isnāt it 8k/day?
sounds like a place where rule of law is ingnored
Victor, my website covers the basic To Dos in order to build a new, anonymous identity on the internet.
Before, we avoided using real names. Now, you must reckon with sb raiding your home.
Educating internet users on privacy and safety seems more important than ever.
This is why I collect information and publish it on my blog.
I just published my latest blog post on Tails: Leave No Trails with Tails OS
Tails OS (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) is a privacy-focused Linux distribution designed to be used as a live operating system. It aims to preserve privacy and anonymity while using the internet. Here are some key features of Tails...

Great, I will take a look later
In case of android you can always download the .APK file for most of the apps including VPNs..
QUICK SOMEONE IN BRAZIL ARMBAR HIM
Itās not unbelievable at all unfortunately. Orwell wrote about this kind of behaviour like 80 years ago. The fact that we forgot these dirtbags still exist and let them get into power is whatās really unbelievable.
