Despite the recent ban on X in Brazil and the hefty fines imposed on those using VPNs to access the platform, my account remains active for a very simple reason: it’s registered and operated through my business in the Netherlands. As the CEO of this company, I have the legal right to manage my business operations from anywhere in the world. No Brazilian judge can prevent me from conducting my business activities in the Netherlands, even if I am currently residing in Brazil. My presence on X is fully compliant with international business laws, and I will continue to operate as usual.
In 2021, I fled the Netherlands for Brazil due to political persecution over expressing my opinion on Covid.
In 2024, I will have to flee Brazil for another refuge because expressing my opinion on 𝕏 could eventually land me in jail.
We’re being silenced, one country at a time.
