Brazil begins to block X as Elon Musk’s feud with judge deepens

Anyone trying to access X in Brazil was blocked on Saturday, after the country enforced a court-ordered suspension of Elon Musk’s social media site. Over the past 24 hours, Brazilians, including President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, have been bidding farewell to X, with some posting links to their profiles on other social media platforms. Attempts to access the site on a web browser or through the app on Saturday were met with an error message. The blockage comes after Brazil’s Supreme Court on Friday ordered the suspension of X nationwide, because Musk refused to name a legal representative in the country. Brazilian law requires companies operating in the jurisdiction to have legal representation. But X, formerly known as Twitter, shut down its Brazilian representative office on August 17 after Justice Alexandre de Moraes threatened to prosecute its local representatives over its reluctance to comply with orders to block users. It further escalates a monthslong feud over free speech, far-right accounts and misinformation. The Supreme Court previously issued orders to block multiple X accounts as part of Brazil’s sweeping investigation into the spread of misinformation online and hate speech aimed at undermining the country’s democracy.
