The government absolutely has the right to cut people off of certain information. If you disagree, try to share some classified secrets, or some child porn and see how well it goes down. The disagreement here is on where the line is drawn on what information falls under that umbrella, and as a sovereign democratic nation, that is Brazil's call to make, not musk's or yours. You might have an argument if this was a dictatorship/one party state, but it is not. Still, I'm sure you were equally vocal when Musk was censoring for those.
Doesn’t sound very democratic, but that word gets misused pretty often. Agree to disagree.
Sorry... you think the democratic thing would be to legalize child porn?
isp’s ~~and even governments~~ should not be in charge of censoring content. child porn and state secrets and even twitter can be illegal without forcing an isp to censor peoples internet. for years I've seen lemmy and reddit fight for net neutrality and common carrier status, but as soon as elon is involved the hate boner takes over. lemmy is so weird.
How exactly do you take down child porn without censoring it?
you deal with the people doing it and not with the people who control the pipes.
edit. I see the part of my comment that was confusing and I edited it without removing it. i still have more nuance to that part of the statement but its more than I'm willing to type and just muddys my point.
And if the people doing it are from another country?
I really don’t understand what Yall are talking about. ISPs don’t host childporn. In fact they host nothing, and should not be responsable or even aware of what goes through their pipes. It should be illegal for them to snoop. Starlink is an isp. Even if starlink starts blocking x, or anything else, which they shouldn’t be able to, people can vpn around that. People shouldn’t have to though. This is a net neutrality issue. ISPs shouldn’t be allowed to block or alter or selectively slow or disable content on the net.
So if a website in another country is distributing child porn everyone should just shrug their shoulders and say "there's nothing we can do"? Despite the fact that there is very clearly something we can do?
Again, how do you take down the child porn without the ISP helping?
