How one Brazilian judge could suspend Elon Musk's X
apnews.com
A Brazilian Supreme Court justice could shut down the local operation of X nationwide if its billionaire owner Elon Musk doesn’t name a legal representative.

It’s a showdown between the world’s richest man and a Brazilian Supreme Court justice.

The justice, Alexandre de Moraes, has threatened to suspend social media giant X nationwide if its billionaire owner Elon Musk doesn’t swiftly comply with one of his orders. Musk has responded with insults, including calling de Moraes a “tyrant” and “a dictator.”

It is the latest chapter in the monthslong feud between the two men over free speech, far-right accounts and misinformation. Many in Brazil are waiting and watching to see if either man will blink.

    Here, here!

    A shame about this though,

    and blocking access to the IP address of X’s servers from inside Brazilian territory,

    Was hoping that the court order there would shut down X globally. If only X were hosted in Brazil… well, one country at a time is better than nothing.
