This forum is an example of that too :skip:
The California Mortgage threads told me all I need to know. :whoa:Not to say it doesn't sound funny, but everyone ignores that Fannie Mae underwritten loans are not lending to damn no/low income migrants with no employment or social security number.
This is why an honest an unbiased media that is rooted in fact-based reporting is so important.
This is a fact, but there is also a major failing in media literacy that is nefarious. Add in people not trusting corporate media just to bend over to random blogs and facebook posts, or source a website ":heh:Is this not a major news source?" (dailymail.uk) with an article they agree with an not look into the author who has literal dozens of alt-right articles they spew a month. No bullshyt, on the topic off the California Mortgage threads, one of the non-USA based writers had 6 anti-DEI articles this month alone and he isn't even USA based. And it absolutely got nuts on TheColi linking it.

Elon Musk slammed a Brazilian judge as 'an outright criminal' after Starlink's financial assets were blocked​


Brazil's Supreme Court has ordered Musk's X to name a legal representative or be suspended​

After months of feuding between X Corp. owner Elon Musk and a Brazilian Supreme Court judge, the local financial assets of Musk’s Starlink have reportedly been blocked.

Justice Alexandre de Moraes and Musk have been locked in a feud since April, when Moraes announced he was investigating the billionaire for obstruction of justice after Musk said he would defy a court order blocking some accounts on X. The company has also claimed that Moraes threatened to arrest one of its legal representatives in Brazil if it didn’t comply.

Musk earlier this month announced that X would close down its operations in Brazil over the judge’s “censorship orders.” Although, the service is still available for users in the country.

On Wednesday, the justice issued a summons alerting Musk he has until 7 p.m. ET Thursday to name a legal representative for the social media company. Under Brazilian law, social media companies are required to have a representative based in the country.

But ahead of that order, Moraes ordered that the assets of a “de facto economic group” under Musk’s control be frozen to guarantee X pay the fines issued by Brazil’s courts, according to G1. Local media on Thursday reported that the order applied specifically to Starlink, a subsidiary of Musk’s aerospace firm SpaceX, which sells satellite internet services in Brazil. Executives have reportedly already been notified and summoned to respond over the fines levied at X.

“This guy @Alexandre is an outright criminal of the worst kind, masquerading as a judge,” Musk wrote in a post on X after local media reported the order, tagging Moraes’ account on the platform.

Earlier on Thursday, Musk — without evidence — accused Brazilian media of being “controlled” by Moraes, who he named a “fake judge dictator.” He also claimed that Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was his “lapdog.”

Moraes could order X’s services to be taken down in Brazil, although it would likely take several days to receive court approval. A shutdown would need Moraes to order telecommunications companies to stop carrying X traffic, although users would be able to get around that through virtual private networks, according to Reuters.

It's only a matter of time when X will no longer be #1. He really driving the company down in the shytters. Brah thought it was a great idea to switch off from a world known brand like Twitter and change it to X :mjlol: . Terrible move.

This is going to become a priority in more countries. It is way to easy to run online, say whatever bullshyt, and claim free speech. These things foment hate groups and we see it time and time again. The UK stabbing of 3 children said to be done by an immigrant and how folks there responded is a great example.

As I keep saying, everyone has a right to an opinion but unfortunately know what has a responsibility to make sure it is an informed opinion and social media can make the wrongest mothafukka say "No, they are the problem, not me."

Facts. Social media is way more pervasive than traditional print and TV and has a better way of weaving itself into one's daily routine whether they are at home, on vacation, on the toilet, on the train, etc. And Elon had the fortune of buying Twitter after it had all those years to build up a userbase.
