Brazil bans X: Outrage spreads after Elon Musk's social media platform is suspended | 1 Sept 2024 | Politicians and many other X users took to the social media platform on Saturday to sound off on their disapproval of the site being banned in Brazil after a court-imposed deadline expired for the company to identify a legal representative in Brazil. "X is the most used news source in Brazil. It is what the people want. Now, the tyrant de Voldemort is crushing the people's right to free speech," Elon Musk, owner of X, wrote following the decision. The move is the latest chapter in an ongoing feud between a Brazilian Supreme Court justice [Alexandre de Moraes] and Musk, which also included the freezing of the satellite internet provider Starlink's financial accounts in Brazil, which is 40% owned by Musk... Musk took a jab at the United States, hinting that this type of censorship could happen if Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are elected. "The attacks this year on free speech are unprecedented in the 21st century. It will happen in America too if Kamala/Walz gain power. Just listen to what they’ve said," Musk wrote.
