Brazil accuses Musk of 'disinformation campaign'
Quick Glance: Elon Musk and the Support of Far-Right in Brazil
  • A court in Brazil is planning an investigation against X owner Elon Musk for alleged obstruction of justice, following Musk's reactivation of accounts belonging to far-right individuals that were flagged by the Brazilian government for removal.

  • Under Musk's leadership, X has transformed into a sanctuary for the far right and dissemination of misinformation, resulting in an escalation of hate speech on the platform.

  • Experts caution that Musk is establishing a dangerous precedent by protecting and promoting the far right on his platform, regardless of local regulations or public opinion.

  • Despite Musk's claims of advocating for free speech, the implementation of these principles on the platform has been inconsistent under his direction, especially concerning government requests to deactivate accounts.

Quick Glance: The US is right to target TikTok
  • The US House of Representatives in March overwhelmingly passed a bill to force divestiture of TikTok from its Chinese parent.

  • This TikTok divestiture is about preventing a foreign adversary from controlling a platform to deploy what I call “persuasive AI”.

  • TikTok is a tool that has proven so valuable that ByteDance is spending money hand over fist on an intimidation campaign.

  • The proposed legislation targets TikTok’s foreign ownership, not its content, and does not violate the First Amendment of the US constitution.
