Alexandre de Moraes, a Brazilian authority, has issued an order to Stripe Brasil Soluções de Pagamentos to suspend all payments to the social media platform X. This move effectively cuts off X's revenue streams in Brazil and is seen as a punitive measure aimed at demonetizing the platform and stifling dissent. The order has sparked controversy, with accusations of de Moraes abusing his power to target critics and political opponents.
