Brazilian Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes on Friday ordered Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, to suspend operating in Brazil immediately. The social media network closed its office in the country earlier this month rather than obey an order from the judge to block dozens accounts being investigated for spreading fake news or hate speech, an order Musk denounced as censorship. The Brazilian financial accounts of Starlink, a subsidiary of Musk’s rocket firm SpaceX, remain frozen.
Brazilian Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes ordered social media giant X to be taken down in the country after billionaire Elon Musk did not name a legal representative for his messaging platform in Brazil, a court decision showed on Friday.
