A Brazilian Supreme Court judge has ordered the suspension of Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, in the country. This decision comes after Musk failed to comply with a court order to name a legal representative in Brazil.
The judge, Alexandre de Moraes, has been involved in a legal dispute with Musk over issues related to free speech and misinformation on the platform. Musk’s refusal to appoint a representative in Brazil has led to escalating tensions and legal actions. The judge’s order mandates the immediate suspension of X’s operations in Brazil until the company complies with the court’s demands.
The suspension could have significant implications for users in Brazil, who may lose access to the platform with other effects on social and business lifestyle.
