    Good.

    However, I’m curious about how they plan to implement this, technologically.

    Like will it be a court order to ISPs to block X at a DNS level?

    Will Musk go full Qanon and make a big deal about making an X darknet site for Brazil or some dumb shit?

    We live in a fucking circus, and the clowns are running the show.

      I think that’s exactly it and how I understand this sentence:

      Given that operators are aware of the widely publicized standoff and their obligation to comply with an order from de Moraes, plus the fact doing so isn’t complicated, X could be offline as early as 12 hours after receiving their instructions, said Luca Belli, coordinator of the Technology and Society Center at the Getulio Vargas Foundation, a university in Rio de Janeiro.
