Domain can be centrally blocked. There are only a few internet pipelines into most countries. And X can block itself from being transmitted via starlink otherwise for instance to certain regions.
It's not real hard to block a domain, basically.

Elon blamed for Russian fund investing in X.Quote:
Specifically, this is about the 8VC Opportunities Fund II. On the fund's website, Denis Aven and Jack Moszkowicz are listed in the staff section. They are the sons of oligarchs Petr Aven and Vadim Moszkowicz. Petr Aven, a Russian billionaire and founder of Alfa Group, is described as "one of Putin's main portfolios." He is subject to sanctions imposed on Russia due to the war in Ukraine.
Great. Another Russia collusion hoax.

So if you're in that country and they block the domain, can you log into a private VPN and visit that site?
In theory, yes, but in practice…we'd go down a geeky wormhole and the answer is gonna be 'no' most of the time. Most VPN's don't provide the protection folks think they get, basically, and in particular the 'nodes' the data flows through the 'banned' provider would be cut off even though 'secure.' And VPN's that don't comply with packet inspections/checking are then themselves banned.

Sorry, I love the FBI, and am glad they keep us safe!
Many remote schools and hospitals depend on SpaceX’s Starlink!

SpaceX will provide Internet service to users in Brazil for free until this matter is resolved, as we cannot receive payment, but don’t want to cut anyone off. https://t.co/BHlPpbsKR6
Soon, we expect Judge Alexandre de Moraes will order X to be shut down in Brazil – simply because we would not comply with his illegal orders to censor his political opponents. These enemies include a duly elected Senator and a 16-year-old girl, among others.

When we attempted…
Supposedly Musk has picked Friday the 13th (9/13) as the date he shutters twitter's HQ in SF.

What we been taking about on here for more than a year now come to fruition. Alliances have now materialized.Dimebag Darrell said:I honestly think Rogan is virtually un-cancelable, since he's he's not on an American-owned streaming platform (Thank God). They'll have to kill his ass....and that could backfire on them in a BIG BIG way.Stat Monitor Repairman said:
We seeing a faction of billionaires and influential people split off from the mainstream.
And now we seeing the response to that.
Anybody that doesn't toe the line, they get after 'em.
People like Elon, Tucker, Joe Rogan, and others have split off and upset the apple cart. Now they going after 'em as hard as they can.
It's a matter of time before they cook up something on Joe Rogan. He's been on a tear lately.
Rogan got the biggest show on the planet. People forget that.
I hope he got a full team assembled and ready to roll. I don't see how they don't come after him like they have Elon and others.
Been talking about this Brazil deal coming to a head since April.
Now they snapped the trap shut on Elon.
Wouldn't be surprised if some country issues a warrant for Elon and somebody attempts to go after him like the Telegram guy.
Welcome to 2024.

Elon sees the risk.
Elon might be the most important person in the world right now. He needs to sit in a bunker in South Texas with a billion patriot missiles.
Elon blamed for Brazilians using internet to access information the Brazilian government doesn't like.

He can block this platform in Brazil, but he can’t stop the whole world from knowing his illegal, shameful & hypocritical deeds. Karma’s a b*tch bro.

Here is a paragraph at the beginning of the article
After all, Trump became president in 2016 after losing the popular vote but winning the Electoral College (Article II). He appointed three justices to the Supreme Court (Article III), two of whom were confirmed by senators representing just 44 percent of the population (Article I). Those three justices helped overturn Roe v. Wade, a reversal with which most Americans disagreed. The eminent legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky, worried about opinion polls showing "a dramatic loss of faith in democracy," writes in his new book, "No Democracy Lasts Forever": "It is important for Americans to see that these failures stem from the Constitution itself."
So basically they want majority rule. Wonder if they felt the same when a majority in a state outlawed gay marriage or when they outlaw abortion

They don't understand what "democracy" is or how it's meant to function in our constitutional Republic
Exactly. And Cherwinsky is an absolute leftist who at his age now feels free to admit it, and preach about it publicly with no end. It's a shame, as he was a good legal mind regarding contract law. The US was never intended to be a democracy, as he once would have admitted. Returning abortion, a contentious issue at best, to the states to decide is the most American thing the court has done in my lifetime.

Trans daughter warns Elon to stay away from that booty.
Yes a man with 10 kids is def an incel. Figures someone that doesn't understand how gender works doesn't understand how words work either.
And is essentially the reason he has gone hard stance on the anti woke.
notably the doctors and social workers that he says totally manipulated him and mom in the name of saving the children
