Twitter Seriously Just Got Banned

the social media platform X has said it expects to be blocked in Brazil because it's not named a new legal representative in the country it's Tech billionaire owner Elon Musk called the move an attack on Free Speech where a feud is heating up the feud between Elon Musk and the Brazilian Supreme Court over the social media platform X formerly known as Twitter mods B anybody speaking Portuguese okay so I just got told that I it and I recorded everything on the funny mic I'm I'm going to lock in lock in and get this video done Twitter is an amazing platform that is if you're a completely unhinged psychopath that likes to punish themselves every single day getting into the smallest discourse imaginable just to light up the parts of your brain now this is a very brave statement that I'm going to say it's never been said before by any YouTuber on the planet Twitter is not a good place to use that's mostly because it's one of those amazing websites that no matter what opinion you have it's wrong and don't worry there will be people on that website that let you know that it's wrong I think one of the reasons why Twitter is hated so much is because it congregates everyone across the internet a lot of other social media websites it tends to become uh leaning towards one side a little bit of an echo chamber like for example Reddit right you've got subreddits dedicated to particular niches interests hobbies and then if you get an outlier you know a little out of Wild's interloper Comet that makes contact with the subreddit and says um actually I don't like said thing then usually they get downed into Oblivion and promptly banned that doesn't happen on Twitter but Twitter's different because it is everyone's takes everyone's beliefs everyone's awful opinions basically all melded together and the way that Twitter works as well it's fueled by rage bait content because rage bait content is what keeps you on the site therefore you get to see ads in between oh look at that bad take number one bad take number two give a kick out doing a quote tweet saying ma for real BR 17 crying emojis and then after all that you'll probably get an ad and the cycle repeats and that's one thing a lot of people actually gloss over Twitter is Rage bait content because rage bait content is what keeps you engaged on the site if you see happy uplifting news like oh a cat save from a tree it's not going to keep you engaged on the site like being angry does I mean a great example is when Elon Musk made this tweet showing how basically emojis related to guns have been dumbed down over time you know they went from like flint lock pistols revolvers all the way to like baby water guns because oh we can't get limited ads in our videos oh my God an emoji that's scary you know despite the fact that people do Emojis like eggplant as a penis and then like a peach Emoji for an ass and Elon actually pointed out that Twitter is going to bring back the gun emoji which that's great like like Everyone likes that and then he made the Tweet itself nerfing of the gun emoji matches rise of the woke mind virus as a core tenant is equating fake harm with real harm what the hell are you talking about now I took one look at that and I thought to myself holy words words words words on a screen I'll be honest I want to work for like Elon musk's marketing team right okay Elon hear me out remove woke mine virus uh uh tenant David David Tenant Doctor Who tenet uh Christopher Nolan film remove all that right and literally just caption the Tweet that's better guaranteed you would have got like 3 million likes everyone on Twitter would have like that you know the little Fallout 4 message everybody liked that Reddit meme whome chungus 00 again that change of making the water pistol back into an actual pistol that's cool that and the community notes are like the two objective things that Elon put into Twitter that made the website better but again he just didn't need to do like words words words about it I don't really use Twitter myself that much anymore a lot of YouTubers actually also have done the same thing and stopped using the website a good example is mutahar some ordinary gamers he basically outright deactivated his account because of like a bunch of like racist hate he was getting and then there are other YouTubers like Jack sepai he uploaded a video talking about if he's going to quit YouTube and he talks very openly about his therapy in that video and he goes on to mention that you know he's tried to create walls with his content so he's not you know living his content 24/7 rentree so one example is he said he just stopped using Twitter entirely as well but going to therapy helped me quite a bit to be like okay you can distance yourself from some aspects of it and then not have to give it up entirely and that's why I don't really go on Twitter anymore I don't have Twitter on my phone I deleted it over a year ago I haven't gone back to it I check Instagram very sparingly I don't really use it and even more legendary example is PewDiePie like PewDiePie has not used Twitter in years he still has the account because he doesn't want someone like stealing his handle but he has no interest in coming back and like again I use PewDiePie as an example of like the good ending for a YouTuber he got that huge bag he quit and now he's living his best life having a family like you cannot do better than that and he's basically semi-retired and he only comes back onto YouTube when he's found a sponsor to put the video in I'm going to make up a random statistic in my head and run it as fact I reckon that 90% of YouTubers that use Twitter probably even more use it way too much and they need to use it less because think about it all the things you're seeing all the things you're tweeting about you are doing that for free if no one gets the bit by the way it's like this really unfunny Adam Saddler film where he just you know looks to the camera and goes for free sounds good to me [Music] and I think those shiny Pearls of Wisdom I just told you apply to anyone you don't even have to be a YouTuber honestly every second of the day that you are using Twitter it is exploiting you there are some outliers like I know there's some gimmick accounts like Midas and some other guys that are you know doing quote tweets and stuff like that and they're actually they have their accounts monetized they're making bank they're exploiting Twitter back which is pretty based but for the most part you're on Twitter probably making yourself really angry and just doing it for free I mean if you look at my Twitter account it's basically just dead now like my tweets are just giving updates on videos and then a parasitical fat fetish joke 503 trillion honestly I only use Twitter for two things now keeping people up to date by posting relatable wholesome memes that reach the algorithm to hopefully get me over 30,000 likes and then as well commissioning Twitter artists for art for my videos and definitely nothing else but surprisingly it seems that one country has actually been able to unplug for the Matrix from Twitter and that is Brazil which is groundbreaking news because you know how most YouTubers they say oh I'm I'm taking a detox from Twitter guys it's like okay bro see you in 24 hours and the funny thing is as well in that 24-hour break there'll still be liking posts as well because they are that mind brokenly addicted to Twitter so Brazil ended up Banning Twitter completely and this isn't like an America hope thing where it's like um we might ban Tik Tok uh from America because then the Americans kind of realize okay China Le bad but also wait we banned Tik Tok what the hell is every 12-year-old going to do now apart from play Roblox or do like a a fortnite Travis Scott event now why has Brazil banned Twitter why have they been so dangerously based so all the way back in April the Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre Moray he basically threatened to arrest Twitter's legal representative for not complying with Brazil's censorship laws as of recording this video if you live in Brazil you cannot use Twitter you could use a VPN and that's why this video is yeah no I I'm not I'm not doing it bit you know the funny thing is half of you aren't even watching this video right you probably have like a game open or or you're watching something just because you've got like the worst ADHD imaginable and as soon as you heard that you were ready to turn to your computer and immediately hit skip I swear I'm going to check the analytics when this video goes out and I guarantee you there's going to be a spike in retention as soon as I mention that because so many people got scared but yeah basically if you use a VPN to access Twitter in Brazil you're going to get find 50,000 Brazilian rares which is around 6,700 it's funny though for people that consume so much YouTube content they almost get like a six sense of being able to like sniff out advertisements a great example is like I saw this one guy right and in the background of his video he had like a green bottle and I genuinely thought it was like an ag1 sponsor and I just thought like skip well yes honey I am going to bed R for 12 hours a day and consume endless YouTube content but no not for one Pepto second will I sit through a YouTube advertisement but right now you might ask yourself how did we get here so unsurprisingly Elon Musk and Justice Moray have not been getting on and the more you look into this story it was basically just inevitable that Twitter was going to get banned in Brazil especially because which I'll get into later Brazil has a track record of banning many many websites outright if they don't immediately comply with their laws I also would like to say before going into this I am not a Brazilian Sherlock I do not want to offend any Brazilian audience I have I'll be honest the only experience I have with Brazil is playing it in max pain 3 so this huge like beef playground insult match whatever you want to call it this started all the way back in 2020 this was a legendary time where half the planet was in lockdown and Minecraft youtubers Were King again this is a very long time ago so the Brazil Supreme Court basically passed a law saying that they were taking online misinformation very seriously especially regarding around Co vaccinations Justice morray is basically ordered for loads of accounts on Twitter to be outright banned for what he believed to be spreading misinformation and also a lot of things regarding the ongoing presidential election that was between Lula D Silva and jahir bolsonaro and just in case I mispronounced any of those names there was a runner-up called Metro's booming track bonaro is basically the right-wing equivalent of trump uh you know for Americans that don't understand that politics also exist in other countries as well now keep in mind this was back in the dark day when Elon Musk actually didn't own Twitter so for the most part Twitter took the knee and complied with the Brazilian government some notable takedowns for you know the three Brazilians that watched me was a conservative journalist called Alan Des Santos and that guy was basically bolsonaro's number one supporter I'm trying to think of a way to make a comparison here okay Minecraft youtubers right he's the equivalent of a Minecraft Youtuber Stan that sits there on Twitter orbiting them every single day and probably has their face as their profile picture now after jir basically you know took the L and lost the election a lot of protesters actually stormed into Brazilian Congress to try to basically overthrow the government so what happened then Elon mus got involved of course he did he started talking about brazilian's censorship concerns keep in mind this is around the time that Elon actually purchased Twitter so his opinions became a lot more vocal because he owned the website now Elon was very very invested in Brazil he could not let the woke M virus infest what a Pure Country that Brazil is so what does he do he sits there on Twitter Beyond his computer saying that Justice ra should basically resign yeah that's definitely going to happen even saying that he infiltrated the 2022 election implying that he's like Agent 47 doing a Silent Assassin run having no kills hiding all the bodies in like the drawers and the cupboards now this was like the most politically charged beef of all time and it actually dragged on for a couple of years this was until April of last year and this is where Justice Moray was basically so tilted with Elon Musk he launched an entire investigation into the website but the main reason why he wanted Twitter inves tigated is because apparently Elon Musk went behind the Brazil government's official decision went behind their back and reinstated a bunch of accounts that they legally requested to be banned now again Brave statement incoming Twitter CES pit very bad sight Le bad s stay away from website but on top of that as well Elon Musk has certain beliefs certain beliefs that are going to spill into his job which is being at Twitter great example of Twitter's bias is their monetization system if you are a Creator you can get payouts being a cre on Twitter is the equivalent of quote tweeting a viral meme saying L BR for real seven crying emojis and then you ratio them that is how you can make an income on Twitter but even then Elon Musk is still pretty biased I mean a good example is when Mr breast posted one of his videos onto Twitter and the ad Revenue he got from that was insane it was like a quarter million or something like that it was ridiculous no one on Twitter posting a video is going to make that much revenue even if you got a fraction of the views that he got and then this month it all came to a head because Twitter's global Affairs account responded to Justice Moray because at the time Moray was basically demanding that Twitter picks a new legal representative for Brazil because Moray was basically saying uh if you don't pick a new rep I'm going to throw your current one in jail so what does Elon Musk do probably sat in his Herman Miller chair thinks to himself U we we we we could save this man's life and we could make a deal with uh with uh Brazil to get edgy memes posted I I like the end wokeness account and that guy with the Doge no he doesn't do that instead he shuts down the entire Brazilian office so that one guy that was going to go to jail he didn't go to jail because he lost his job so did everyone else in the Brazilian Twitter offices because technically he's not operating in Brazil anymore so he doesn't have to abide by their law and this is where things stand right now Twitter has still been outright banned they do have the option to appoint a new head but Elon Musk is probably just too busy being sat there in his office like the the the Brazil has been infected by the by the by the woke the woke the woke M virus the woke M virus and how did Elon Musk reply to all this after shutting down the offices he had the biggest boohoo imaginable he called Justice morray an evil dictator now at the time we recording it's unclear if Brazil are ever going to get access to Twitter again I mean if they don't is there really that much lost the funny thing is though on Twitter people were treating this like it was the heat death of the universe they were even doing fan art of Brazilian hatsu Miku basically waving goodbye and that got like nearly 300,000 likes now I feel like I need to give like a little bit of content here what is Brazilian hatsun Miku because before looking into this I had no idea Brazilian hatsun Miku came into existence after people started making Israeli hatsun Miku but then people wanted to ratio those art pieces in support for Palestine by drawing Palestinian hatsun Miku and then people started drawing like other country themed variants of Miku including one representing Brazil now surprisingly Twitter isn't actually the first company to be outright banned by Brazil they've got a long long history of banning a lot of social soci media apps they've been on a bit of a band spree almost like a Gmod dark RP admin so Brazil has actually banned WhatsApp multiple times this was in 2015 2016 and 2018 and then they blocked card payments on the app in 2020 as well I'm not sure how that works I I didn't even know you could do card payments on WhatsApp you know maybe there's like a scam on there or something where you can add your card to like remove ads or something you know like those scam mobile games you see littered everywhere all Subway Surfers I'm going to pay £5 to remove all the ads so one of the reasons why WhatsApp was bandn was actually pretty similar to Twitter they weren't complying with investigations that the Brazilian government had started but these investigations weren't regarding what I mentioned on Twitter but more the fact with criminal activity and graphic content and I find it really funny that people were organizing stuff like that on WhatsApp because WhatsApp says it's encrypted believe me it's not I've talked to people in law enforcement before if they want to scrape your messages from WhatsApp they are going to like encrypted basically means nothing at all I'm sorry to say boys I got to break it to you the group chat is inde leaked the police are monitoring it right now the best you can do is scrub all the messages and then claim you had a schizophrenic meltdown or you were hacked so a judge granted a ban to Whatsapp all the way back in 2015 basically hoping that in the time that they were banned they would learn to self-regulate and do better and the thing is all these big companies tend to have the same problem where it's like they will never self-regulate until the government steps in but then you're expecting the government to step in the government who for the most part are lobbied by these big companies now Facebook that owns WhatsApp sorry I to say meta because meta is the big I'll be honest I don't really care about using these companies pronouns at all you know Mark Zuckerberg be like on Instagram today my favorite one so far great job team but their cope was basically saying your honor how can we regulate ourselves if we have no offices in Brazil it's like okay we still need to follow international law I mean I still think there has to be some level of Regulation there it's like you can't say just because you don't have like three people working in an office there means that you you know turn a blind eye to everything going on there and then there was another ban that happened all the way back in 2018 and this is where the app was banned for misinformation and false news again pretty similar to Twitter with this one and that was an election that ended up having a runoff because both candidates failed to reach more than 50% of the votes which like I guess it's the UK equivalent of hung Parliament now it doesn't end there they went after Twitter they went after WhatsApp but they also went after telegram I'll be honest I don't know a single person that uses telegram apart from Russian people and furries now okay Brave statement right I'm a degenerate the entire internet knows that now and forever but even I don't use telegram telegram is the kind of app where a furry will commission 30,000 emojis of their own character and spam them in Discord servers acting like people will care basically the biggest sink of disposable income you could possibly imagine now they banned telegram because of apparent ties to a Neo Austrian painter group and apparently they were using the app to try to coordinate School attacks now again I don't use telegram I don't understand how it works the only thing I've heard about it is like it has like self-d deleting messages and it's all like encrypted but again it's it's probably not that much more secure than WhatsApp but one of the reasons why it's so popular is because of that timed messages feature after you send a message you can basically set it to like detonate and delete itself but I think that's why a lot of theories use telegram because they don't want the wide world to know that they're like a disgusting degenerate yeah could you imagine if that happens roleplay that would suck so they requested for telegram to be suspended which is like can you can you turn off the PC young man and telegram went you know Captain America no no I don't think I will it was also banned all the way back in 2022 Again by Justice Moray this guy has been like giving out the banhammer more than like a tf2 admin and that back then as well was due to accounts not being removed that were requested to be removed that we're talking about jir bolsonaro now the rabbit hole somehow gets even deeper because a website I did not even think would be on Brazil's radar Rumble also got banned that was mostly because they wouldn't sensor creators per request of the Brazilian government I'm just amazed that Rumble even got on Brazil's radar because okay let's have like the streamer Iceberg right on top of the iceberg the very wholesome bits you've got YouTube streaming and twitch wholesome chungus below that the more murk stuff you know you've got your kick you've got your Facebook live and then below that you've got Rumble oh wait sorry my bad let me correct that you've got live leak and then below that you've got Rumble now what's my take on this whole situation I can't have one because as soon as you do you align your your with the political Spectrum until the end of your career and it follows you relentlessly so I'm just going to sit here and say nothing like critical okay all right being serious uh government oversight lead they should not have that much control I mean Elon Musk Le Wok mind virus that that that's cringe okay I really don't like that but at the same time I do feel the government are being way too involved in these situations I mean we know that Elon Musk has a bias right both of these do the Brazilian government does and so does Elon Elon for example uh Alex Jones was banned on Twitter he reinstated his account and with like many other people he's done the same thing I mean it really does feel like a battle of the morons you've got the morons in government and then the morons running the big billionaire tech companies I'm not sure what's going to happen next elon's probably just going to be looking at a wall saying woke mine virus over and over I mean okay go on Discord right now and yes you do use Discord you wouldn't be here otherwise Jesus go on Discord gifts and type in brick wall GIF and that black guy talking to the brick wall That's hea explaining to one of his employees about the woke M virus yeah what's going to happen next I don't know I don't really care to be honest I got like three viewers from Brazil I mean they might ban YouTube next week and I probably end up losing like three pesos [Music] [Applause] oh
