Protests Erupt in Brazil Over Ban on X
News summary

On September 7, Brazil's Independence Day, thousands protested in major cities against Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who ordered a nationwide ban on Elon Musk's social media platform X due to content moderation disputes. Demonstrators, many supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro, demanded Moraes' impeachment, accusing him of eroding free speech rights and overstepping legal boundaries. The protests coincided with criticisms from Musk, who has framed the court's actions as censorship, while Brazilian officials argue that such measures are necessary to combat misinformation. The situation escalated after Moraes froze Starlink's accounts, further inflaming tensions. Attendees, dressed in Brazilian colors, voiced their discontent against perceived government overreach, with some carrying signs thanking Musk for championing their freedom. The unrest highlights a growing divide in Brazilian politics, with supporters of right-wing views feeling increasingly targeted by judicial actions.
