Brazilian President Lula indirectly calls out Elon Musk on climate crisis, further fueling tensions
cnn.com/2024/04/09/business/lula-elon-musk-moraes-leash/
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.

reuters.com/world/europe/russias-putin-signs-decree-spring-military-conscription-2024-03-31/
Quick Glance: Putin's Decree Initiates Spring Military Conscription of 150,000 Russians
- Russian President Vladimir Putin has taken action by signing a decree to commence the routine spring conscription campaign, summoning 150,000 citizens for mandatory military service.
- Upon reaching 18 years of age, all males in Russia are mandated to complete a year-long military service obligation or undergo equivalent training during their higher education.
- The issue of compulsory military service has always been a delicate matter in Russia, with numerous men resorting to extreme measures to evade receiving conscription documents during the biannual call-up periods.
- It is important to note that conscripts are prohibited by law from being deployed outside of Russia and were specifically excused from a restricted mobilization in 2022 that brought together over 300,000 men with prior military experience to participate in combat in Ukraine - despite a few conscripts being erroneously sent to the frontlines.
