The Brazilian Supreme Court threatens to suspend X's operations in the country before August 29
ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes stated that if Elon Musk does not appoint a legal contact to represent X's business in Brazil, the company's X social media platform will be suspended in Brazil by August 29, 2024. Two weeks ago, X indicated that Justice Alexandre de Moraes threatened to arrest its legal representative in Brazil. In response, the X platform announced on August 17 that it would cease operations in Brazil, but the social media service would remain available to all Brazilian users.
It is reported that earlier this year, Musk claimed that Moraes was taking "illegal" and secret measures to force content moderation on X. Moraes, on the other hand, alleged that X allows the promotion of "misinformation" about the Brazilian government on its social media site.
