Brazil has been on it lately. At least with sticking it to tech bros
All the BRICS have. Brazil just stands out, because its not a country we've flagged as "Evil Enemy Run By Inhuman Savages".
It also helps that unlike the R and the C in BRICS, they aren't imperialists threatening and/or invading their neighbours. Brazil is a good world citizen.
As long as it keeps censoring its citizens, everthing fine! 🙄
Eh?
Fact checking is censorship apparently.
The old system of using fact-checking agencies was biased, and the content they deemed false had its reach negatively impacted. They were literally the arbiters of truth, and their actions silenced their political opponents' voices. The new system of Community Notes is superior because it requires approval from people with diverse political alignments to show a fact-check to everyone.
Because remember you need a Nazi and a tankie to agree with facts in order for it to be the real truth.
Sometimes reality doesn't align with political views. Doesn't mean it's not facts
I thought you just believed the opposite of whatever your political adversaries believed, because they were always lying
So you're set to automatically complain unless the fact-check aligns perfectly with your worldview?
Projecting much?
Kind weird to think that's what's happening tbh
I think you might be confused. They were talking about a country other than the US. 😂
