Musk’s X caves in to Brazil
The platform's owner Elon Musk, a vocal advocate of free speech, has until now refused to back down, describing the orders as an attempt to censor voices on his platform and calling the justice “an evil dictator cosplaying as a judge.”
However, on Friday, X’s legal representatives announced that the platform has taken steps to comply with the Brazilian court’s demands to help resolve the impasse and get the ban on the site lifted.
These steps include paying the fines X owes, blocking the accounts that de Moraes had previously accused of propagating misinformation and of undermining Brazilian democracy, and naming a legal representative in the country.
