Elon Musk's X Closes Brazil Operations Amid Secret Censorship Orders
Aug 17, 2024, 04:31 PM
Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has announced the closure of its operations in Brazil, effective immediately. The decision, confirmed by Elon Musk, follows threats of arrest against its legal representative by Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The closure is a response to what X describes as 'censorship orders' and secret orders that would require the company to violate multiple national and international laws. Despite the shutdown of its local operations, the X platform will remain accessible to users in Brazil. The move underscores ongoing tensions between the platform and Brazilian authorities over issues of free speech and censorship.
