Judge Orders X to Suspend Brazil Operations
News summary

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the suspension of Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly Twitter, due to non-compliance with court orders to name a legal representative and remove disinformation-spreading accounts. The suspension will last until X pays fines and complies with all court directives, with additional penalties for VPN use to bypass the ban. Musk and various X users have criticized the decision as a violation of free speech and an attack on democracy, while de Moraes argues it is necessary to combat misinformation and uphold the rule of law. The ongoing feud reflects deeper political divides in Brazil, with Musk accusing the judge of politically motivated censorship and de Moraes maintaining his stance against the spread of disinformation by far-right groups.
