  • Ballot access for NYC mayorial candidacy is 100% officiated. There are explicit rules and requirements that if you meet you are 100% GUARANTEED ballot access. By simply winning the primary, he is 100% guaranteed to be on that Mayoral Ballot. He is also 100% allowed to run with under the Democratic Ticket. There is nothing at all the DNC, a national grifter org, can do to affect his access to the NYC Mayoral Ballot.

    They can choose to gather signature and run Cuomo, they can run back other candidates, they can spend millions backing the AIPAC preferred candidates, but they are going to do that regardless of what Mamdani does or says.










  • I read the article. In-fact I started this thread asking for clarification to whom these laws apply. Then you went off on a tangent about Zuckerberg and implied i’m a “chud.” So let me state how I think these laws apply, tell me if this is correct.

    The Nation of Brazil passes a law that says the users of a website have to abide by Brazil’s laws. I don’t know what they meant by that, I assume lemmy.ml that is not hosted in Brazil isn’t expected to know nor care about what Brazil’s laws say. But if that were the case, then Facebook also wouldn’t be expected to know nor care about what Brazil’s laws say. The citizens of brazil that use facebook? Sure, they should be subject to those laws. But why should any other entity that exists outside of Brazil be obligated to know nor care about Brazilian law?

    Those details seem pretty important, and the article doesn’t address them at all, it merely says that Brazil’s supreme court says that website are required to “deplatform” and “delete posts” of users who broke the law. But why should lemmy.ml abide by brazilian laws?



  • That is the natural extension of your line of thinking is it not? Which users are “persecutable” by brazilian/Israeli law? If it’s not just the citizens of Brazil (which i’m ok with, obviously a nation should be able to pass laws that apply to their citizens) but everyone “persecutable,” doesn’t that mean that a country that is sufficiently able to persecute anyone in the world is now justified to enforce their laws upon the entire world?




  • In 2014, after years of debate, Brazil’s Congress ratified Law 12.965/2014, the Internet Civil Framework. This law required social media companies to delete posts and deplatform users who broke Brazilian laws. However, it placed the burden on Brazilian courts to identify the posts and accounts.

    Is this meant to apply to all “users” of the platform or only Brazilian Citizens?

    If it applies to Brazilian Citizens, that’s all fine and good. But if I break brazilian law by criticizing their government, is lemmy.ml expected to “deplatform” and “censor” me?
