Brazil Suspends X Over Compliance Issues

News summary

The Brazilian Supreme Court, led by Justice Alexandre de Moraes, has ordered the suspension of Elon Musk's social media platform X in Brazil due to its failure to appoint a local legal representative and comply with other judicial orders. This action follows a prolonged conflict between Musk and Brazilian authorities over issues of disinformation and free speech, with Musk accusing de Moraes of censorship. The suspension will remain until X fulfills the court's demands, and fines have been imposed for using VPNs to bypass the ban. The telecommunications regulator Anatel has been given 24 hours to enforce the suspension, though smaller providers may need more time. This move affects approximately 40 million users in Brazil and presents a significant challenge for X, especially given its declining advertising revenue.
