Brazil's Supreme Court has ordered the suspension of the social media platform X, owned by Elon Musk, due to its failure to appoint a legal representative and comply with court orders. This decision follows a prolonged conflict between Musk and Judge Alexandre de Moraes over issues of censorship and disinformation. The judge accused Musk of allowing the spread of fake news and hate speech, while Musk criticized the order as censorship. The suspension could significantly impact X's user base in Brazil, one of its largest markets, and comes amid Musk's struggles with advertising revenue. President Lula (of Brazil) supported the court's decision, emphasizing the importance of respecting Brazilian laws.
