Brazil’s supreme court just made a move that tightens regulation on social media platforms. The ruling will force these platforms to stand legally responsible for the posts users make with them. Thanks to the Supreme Court in Brazil’s new ruling, social media platforms like Facebook, TikTok and X will have to make immediate moves to get rid of material such as hate speech, incitement to violence or “anti-democratic acts”, without a prior judicial go-ahead. Brazil has become increasingly sensitive toward harmful digital content, especially its impact on young people, and this ruling is a side effect of that. https://twitter.com/bolsonarosp/status/1938714862739501299?s=46 Brazil’s…

Just two words: “Buy Bitcoin.” That was his reaction to a now-viral graph showing U.S. national debt crossing $36.2 trillion — and it is still climbing. The chart itself looks like a tech stock in a bull run — except it is not Apple or Nvidia. It is the federal debt, growing in a straight vertical line from the early 2000s to today. No slowdown. No breaks. Just more borrowing. His post landed right after some big news: on May 17, Moody’s downgraded the U.S. credit rating from Aaa…
