Brazilian Supreme Court justice threatens to shut down X (formerly Twitter) in Brazil unless Elon Musk names a legal representative in 24 hours. The ongoing feud between the platform and Justice Alexandre de Moraes includes clashes over free speech, far-right accounts, and misinformation. X claims censorship and removed all Brazil staff after de Moraes threatened legal action. The US has more permissive free speech laws, contrasting Brazil’s stricter regulations. De Moraes is accused by the right of overstepping and engaging in political persecution, while defenders argue his actions protect democracy. Controversial actions and legal threats highlight the battle between social media and Brazilian authorities.
