Brazil Bans Elon Musk's Social Media Platform X

The Brazilian Supreme Court has officially banned Elon Musk's social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), following a dispute over the platform's refusal to name a legal representative in Brazil and comply with local laws against misinformation. This ban has led to a significant migration of Brazilian users to alternative platforms like Threads and Bluesky. The court has also requested Apple and Google to remove the X app from their stores, and internet service providers to block access within Brazil. This situation is part of broader global tensions between tech companies and governments over content moderation and free speech, with similar issues arising in Europe involving Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg. These events highlight ongoing conflicts over online censorship and the regulation of technology.
