Closing X/Twitter in Brazil
A Supreme Court judge has ordered that access to X/Twitter be immediately blocked throughout Brazil.
Reuters reports.
With that, what many had feared happened: No one in Brazil will have access to X (formerly Twitter) from Friday evening, Norwegian time. Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes (b. 1968) has ordered this.
The shutdown comes as a result of X refusing to comply with a judge's demand earlier this year that the company shut down accounts that were involved in spreading fake news.
Elon Musk (b. 1971) responded by closing the company's offices in Brazil.
Brazilian President Lula da Silva (b. 1945) has also participated in the debate.
"Just because a guy has a lot of money doesn't mean he's outside the law," da Silva said earlier today.
Musk, for his part, has called Brazil's president the obedient dog of the Supreme Court.
The US Embassy in Brazil said in a statement that the US is closely monitoring the situation in the South American country, adding that "freedom of expression is one of the cornerstones of a healthy democracy".
