Brazil's Supreme Court has unanimously upheld a nationwide ban on Elon Musk's social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter.
The decision was supported by all five justices present, out of an 11-member court, reinforcing the judiciary's stance against the platform. This move has sparked significant controversy and debate over free speech and censorship in Brazil, with critics arguing it sets a dangerous precedent for democratic values. Following the court's decision, Brazil's telecom regulator, Anatel, has also threatened sanctions against another of Musk's ventures, Starlink, indicating a broader regulatory crackdown on the billionaire's businesses in the country.
