Elon Musk's social media platform, X, announced the immediate closure of its operations in Brazil, citing "censorship orders" from Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes. X claims that Moraes secretly threatened one of its legal representatives with arrest if the platform did not comply with orders to remove certain content. The social media platform remains available to Brazilian users. The move follows Moraes' earlier actions to block accounts spreading misinformation under former President Bolsonaro. Musk condemned Moraes' actions as unconstitutional.
