Billionaire Elon Musk has announced his intention to defy court restrictions imposed on certain accounts on the social media platform X in Brazil, even if this results in the platform being shut down in the country. Bloomberg has the story.
X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, said in a post late Saturday that court decisions “forced” the site to block “certain popular accounts” in Brazil, without specifying the reasons or which posts allegedly violated the law. Shortly after, Musk wrote on the platform that he was defying the court’s ruling. …
While neither X nor Musk identified the judge that issued the ruling, the site’s billionaire owner was responding to another post that accused Brazil’s Supreme Court head Alexandre de Moraes of cracking down on free speech. …
The spat comes as courts widen a fight against so-called fake news and hate speech online. In a recent decision, the country’s Superior Electoral Court approved a resolution requiring social media networks to limit the spread of fake news during elections.

I expect the uptake is far higher than 10% in the major cities and I don’t think people are going to be checking out in the countryside. its kenya’s guardian reading class having a moral panic
That was my guess too, it will be the urban elite who have taken the vax.
Why should they care about the rural poor not having access to their bars, shops and restaurants?
Rather similar to the Soviet Nomenclatura having exclusive use of such places.
“Kill The Poor” as Jello Biafra would put it.
Might be a problem for their houseboys, cleaners, nannys and other domestic servants.
In Africa It’s just a little more obviously a shakedown exercise than about health.

Me thinks is about international donors to public health than any attempt to handle their epidemic. He who writes the checks writes the rules. Given a) the young age of the population b) expose to other viruses c) limited benefit in stopping infections from vaccine (trending to nil over time) and d) the larger issues facing Kenya, this rule makes about as much sense as requiring everyone to have their wisdom teeth pulled before entering. I’m not conspiracy theorist but have seen and read of international donors demanding odd thing of nations in return for grants in the best of times.
So, any intrepid investigative journalist want to tackle this? Because the answers could be very illuminating.
Jabbing at risk populations made sense. Jabbing everyone didn’t make sense when we still had high hopes for the vaccine. I wonder if Kenya will be required to jab it’s 5 year olds too?
Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab.

Well done Kenya. I should like to see how this works out. Thankfully it’s a warm country and so no one will be left out in the cold so to speak.

That reminds a little bit of “cargo cults” behavior… Just jab enough arms and the cargo will come. After all that’s what all the great white people are doing.

How did Kenya get the vaccine? Where did they pull the dollars from?

This was never about a virus!
It was never about the science either.
They got the memo too early!
Lol, if you don’t laugh at this…
Update: I soon descended into sobs.
It’s their country – let them have their own circus.

That’ll be a bonus to the NPD grauniad-reading classes.
Coherent with the general global strategy. Impose the new order on the gentry and the plebs will eventually follow.
At this point the well to do, urbanites are the only ones they care about. For now.
They’ve set up a good system of capture with the vax for travel rules.
Orwell foresaw this quite well in 1984. The regime cared mostly about the upper.echelons. The lower classes were.left to themselves.
That’s what the Kenya thing is about.
Going to be some very empty bars.
Winter surge, in Kenya, in December ???
My thoughts exactly.
Nairobi average temperatures in November and December are 19 – 20 degrees Celsius.

I sure the Kenyans have the infrastructure in place to police this. Thought not, none story.
Africa skipped/leapfrogged land lines so there are a lot of internet connected mobile phones.
Again, a biased intro taking the official narrative as truth.
Kenya catches up with Agenda 30. Let the backhanders begin.
Didn’t Nigeria introduce a similar policy months ago, with an even lower uptake? Any news how that has worked out for them?
