Brazil Orders X to Appoint Legal Representative
News summary

Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter) faces imminent blockage in Brazil following a court order from Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The court has demanded that Musk appoint a legal representative in Brazil within 24 hours, or face total suspension of the platform due to alleged non-compliance with Brazilian laws regarding content moderation and user privacy. Musk has openly criticized Moraes, calling him a 'dictator' and accusing him of censorship, while X has already ceased operations in Brazil amid ongoing tensions. This conflict escalated after Moraes threatened to jail X's legal representative if the platform did not comply with his orders. The Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) is preparing to enforce the blockade, which would also affect Starlink, Musk's satellite internet service. This situation highlights the broader struggle between tech companies and governmental authority over issues of free speech and content moderation.
