The court's decision came after the social platform X (formerly Twitter) failed to appoint a legal representative in Brazil within the deadline set by the court.
Court Decision
Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes has ordered access to the X platform to be blocked within 24 hours. The decision came after the social network failed to fulfill the requirement to appoint a legal representative in the country.
Requirements for Platforms and Users
The court also ordered Apple and Google to remove X from their app stores within five days. Additionally, Brazilian users attempting to circumvent the block via VPN or other methods will face a daily fine of R$50,000 (around $8,000).
Elon Musk's Reaction
In response to the court's decision, X founder Elon Musk accused the Brazilian authorities of oppression and called judge Alexandre de Moraes an 'evil dictator.' His statement was made on the X social network.
The situation around the blocking of the X social network in Brazil continues to develop. Many users are concerned about issues of free speech and law compliance in the context of this conflict.
