  it’s hard to apply that standard to what’s happening in countries like Brazil and France. They have every right to bring platforms into line with their expectations, and to take action if they refuse to comply.
Musk's position wrt Brazil is that the 'they' taking action (Alexandre de Moraes) is seeking to silence current legislators, in contravention of Brazilian law. And that they've taken retaliatory action against Starlink, a separate legal entity that is not accused of any illegal actions.

This article seems one-sided. It omits a lot of relevant facts (like the reason Durov was flying to France in the first place).
