Oh, X is banned in Brazil and Australia? Or what happened in those countries?
Banned in Brazil, forced to pay 10% of global earnings per day until stopping misinformation posting in Australia.
10% of global earnings? Isn't it losing money? Makes it sound like they're paying him.
Earnings is incoming money before any expenditures
Same as revenue?
Right
Earnings is different from profits.
Thanks! Good to hear.
X is forbidden from offering services in Brazil until and unless it complies with the local courts (the company refused an order to suspend some accounts, then wouldn't appoint a local representative as Brazilian law requires). Local ISPs are required to block it. I don't know about Australia.
Thanks! Last I heard X chose to comply with Brazil's requirements.
It's all mentioned in the linked article
