Elon Musk’s X banned in Brazil
While it may seem like a step too far for the Supreme Court of a major country to ban a social network (it happened here), the story behind it doesn’t exactly paint a good picture for X or Musk. The Brazilian government ordered the site to stop posting fake information, which Musk called “censorship,” and it eventually escalated from there. On Wednesday of this week, X (which suspended its operations in Brazil earlier this year) received an order from Brazil to appoint legal representatives in the country within 24 hours, which X failed to do. As a result, X is now banned in Brazil.
And if you try to circumvent that ban, you will have to pay a fine.
