Brazil Supreme Court Upholds Ban on Elon Musk's X
News summary

Brazil's Supreme Court has unanimously upheld the suspension of Elon Musk's social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, due to its failure to comply with local laws regarding political misinformation and hate speech. The court's top justice, Alexandre de Moraes, issued the order after X did not appoint a legal representative in Brazil by the deadline, resulting in fines exceeding $3 million. The court has also frozen assets of Musk's satellite service, Starlink, and instructed internet providers to block access to X until compliance is achieved. In response, Musk has denounced the court's actions as illegal and threatened reciprocal confiscations of assets from supporters of the Brazilian government. The suspension has prompted a significant shift towards alternative platforms like Bluesky, which has seen a surge in users since the ban. This situation raises critical questions about free speech, censorship, and the regulatory power of national authorities over social media platforms.
