The use of the X platform in Brazil is prohibited
A judge has ordered social media giant X, formerly known as Twitter, to be banned from operating in Brazil.
Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes made the ruling after the platform’s billionaire owner, Elon Musk, failed to send a legal representative to Brazil.
The judge and Musk have been feuding publicly for months after X defied legal orders to block some accounts for spreading fake news and hate.
In the ruling, the judge also ordered the payment of fines amounting to 18.5 million reais (3 million euros).
Anyone who uses virtual private networks (VPNs) to bypass blocking and access X can be fined up to 50,000 reais per day – equivalent to nearly 8,400 euros.
Responding to the decision in a series of posts on X, Musk said Brazil is “closing down the #1 source of truth” and its “oppressive regime” is “scared as people are learning the truth.”
Otherwise, Brazil is an important market for X, which has struggled with losing advertisers since Musk bought the company in 2022.
According to market research group Emarketer, around 40 million Brazilians – roughly 20 percent of the population – use the platform at least once a month.
