Brazil blocks Musk’s X after company refuses to name local representative amid feud with judge

LA Times  

“Elon Musk showed his total disrespect for Brazilian sovereignty and, in particular, for the judiciary, setting himself up as a true supranational entity and immune to the laws of each country,” Brazilian Supreme Court Chief Justice Alexandre de Moraes wrote. Brazil started blocking Elon Musk’s social media platform X early Saturday, making it largely inaccessible on the web and through its mobile app after the company refused to comply with a judge’s order. In his decision Friday, De Moraes’ cited Musk’s statements as evidence that X’s conduct “clearly intends to continue to encourage posts with extremism, hate speech and anti-democratic discourse, and to try to withdraw them from jurisdictional control.” In April, De Moraes included Musk as a target in an ongoing investigation over the dissemination of fake news and opened a separate investigation into the executive for alleged obstruction. Musk later posted on X that SpaceX, which runs Starlink, will provide free internet service in Brazil “until the matter is resolved” since “we cannot receive payment, but don’t want to cut anyone off.” In his decision, De Moraes said he ordered the freezing of Starlink’s assets, as X didn’t have enough money in its accounts to cover mounting fines, and reasoning that the two companies are part of the same economic group.
