Before Brazil and Elon Musk: X’s history of run-ins with left and right
Al JazeeraHow X’s run-ins with foreign governments have shifted across the political spectrum under Musk’s leadership. All five judges on Brazil’s Supreme Court panel voted last week to uphold a ban on Elon Musk’s social media platform X in the country, rendering the mobile app inaccessible to almost 212 million users in Brazil. In January 2023, after a mob of ex-President Jair Bolsonaro’s supporters spurred on by false claims of electoral fraud, stormed the National Congress, the Brazilian Supreme Court issued an order for X and other social media platforms to restrict accounts linked to fake news and hate speech which were locally termed “digital militias“. Ethiopia banned many social media platforms, including Twitter, in February 2023 to quell violent protests related to an attempt to split the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. banned many social media platforms, including Twitter, in February 2023 to quell violent protests related to an attempt to split the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
