Brazil's Supreme Court, under the oversight of Judge Alexandre de Moraes, is facing scrutiny following revelations of its efforts to censor content on the X platform. Newly released documents indicate that the court has ordered the censorship of various profiles, including those of a pastor, a current Parliamentarian, and the wife of a former Parliamentarian. These actions have raised concerns about the court's role in controlling information and the implications for freedom of speech in Brazil. The platform has been asked to comply with these demands, which reportedly require violations of Brazilian law.
