How Elon Musk’s X could be suspended by one Brazilian judge in the coming hours

The Hindu  

It's a showdown between the world's richest man and a Brazilian Supreme Court justice. The justice, Alexandre de Moraes, has threatened to suspend social media giant X nationwide in the coming hours if its billionaire owner Elon Musk doesn't swiftly comply with one of his orders. De Moraes would first notify the nation’s telecommunications regulator, Anatel, who would then instruct operators — including Musk's own Starlink internet service provider — to suspend users’ access to X. Since X is widely accessed via mobile phones, de Moraes is also likely to notify major app stores to stop offering X in Brazil, said Affonso Souza. “To our users in Brazil and around the world, X remains committed to protecting your freedom of speech.” It also said de Moraes’ colleagues on the Supreme Court “are either unwilling or unable to stand up to him.”
