I hate Elon Musk but this is not good. Countries should not ban apps.

I get what you mean but you have to remember that that would mean corporations can do as they please.
No matter how much freedom and freedom of speech we have. There HAS to me a line. Like letting hate speech spread and neo nazis make it their home is one of those lines.
The judge asked twitter to have a legal representative IN brazil that can speak for the company on issues the government has with twitter. Elon musk told them to fuck off. So they now tell him to fuck off then. And now musk is crying and triggered.
Random and pretty extreme maybe, but its a clear example. Imagine someone standing infront of the house of a person of color and just shouting the n word over and over. Should he be arrested for hate speech? Or would that be an attack on freedom of speech?
Elon does not want freedom of speech. He wants freedom of consequences.

Perhaps if an app wants to do business in a country it should send an ambassador there to have a full time presence. Seems a reasonable compromise to me.

Sounds like Brazil has a law where you need to have a designated point of contact in-country, notified Musk of that, and he refused.
I guess Russia and Saudi Arabia care less about manipulating elections and stoking violence in Brazil than in other countries. Gotta focus.

He did even more than refuse. He is making elementary school level memes of the judge and mocking him. Hes such a manchild 😑
