New laws in Europe and Brazil threaten to knock social platforms offline

@taylorlorenz Brazil always had anti-hate speech laws. They're just enforcing on social media too, after the onslaught of disinformation coming from these platforms.

Brazil, like Europe, doesn't follow American First Amendment, and both understand speech can be violent too.

But don't be sad, it was mostly bots posting disinfo.

@nonlinear @taylorlorenz Yeah I’m not offended by what Brazil is doing.
