Brazil's Supreme Court ordered a nationwide suspension on X following a contentious showdown with the social media network's mercurial owner Elon Musk and justice Alexandre de Moraes..
The social media platform X was suspended Friday across Brazil following the brewing feud between the two. Moraes threatened to stop X from operating in the country unless Musk hired a lawyer to defend the company against charges of X's lack of compliance with Brazilian law.
According to CNBC, Moraes issued the nationwide suspension after accusing Musk of defying court orders. However, many of Brazil's 171 million followers on X can still access the site using a VPN which routes access through another country.
