Brazil judge’s decision to block X upheld
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — A Brazilian Supreme Court panel has unanimously upheld the decision of one of its justices to block billionaire Elon Musk’s social media platform X nationwide. That’s according to the court’s website. The broader support among justices undermines the effort of Musk and his supporters to cast Justice Alexandre de Moraes as a renegade and authoritarian censor of political speech. The panel is comprised of five of the full bench’s 11 justices, including de Moraes. He ordered the platform blocked for having failed to name a local legal representative as required by law. X will remain blocked until it complies with his orders.
