A Brazilian Supreme Court justice has ordered the suspension of Elon Musk’s social media platform X in Brazil due to Musk's refusal to name a legal representative in the country. The decision comes after a prolonged dispute between the two parties over issues related to free speech, far-right accounts, and misinformation.
Justice Alexandre de Moraes had previously warned Musk to name a representative for X in Brazil, setting a 24-hour deadline for compliance. As X failed to appoint a representative, de Moraes ordered internet service providers and app stores to block access to the platform within five days. The platform will remain blocked until it adheres to the court's orders.
