Brazil's Supreme Court has ordered the immediate suspension of Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, in the country. This decision was made after Musk failed to comply with a legal order to appoint a legal representative for the platform in Brazil. The ruling was issued by Judge Alexandre de Moraes, highlighting the ongoing legal standoff between Musk and Brazilian authorities. The suspension is part of a broader effort by the Brazilian judiciary to enforce compliance with national regulations for foreign tech companies operating within its borders.
