Microblogging platform X (Twitter) has rarely been as popular as it was after Musk took over. Ever since Musk became the owner of X, this platform has remained in the headlines for some reason or the other. Now Musk has stopped the operations of his social media platform X in a country with immediate effect. After this decision of Musk, X is again in the headlines.
Elon Musk has banned the operations of X in Brazil. This decision was taken by the company after Brazil Supreme Court Judge Alexander de Moraes gave a censorship order. The company claims that Moraes was pressuring a legal representative of X to remove some content from the microblogging platform. Not only this, he was also threatening to arrest him if he did not do so.
Let us tell you that now X’s Global Government Affairs team has given information about this entire matter by posting it on social media. The company wrote in the post that it has deciding to shut down its operations in Brazil with immediate effect for the safety of its staff. According to the post, the company has only shut down its operations in Brazil. X’s services will continue in the country.
The company’s owner Elon Musk has also posted on social media regarding this matter. He wrote in his post that it was a very difficult decision to close X’s office in Brazil. From this post of Elon Musk, it can be guessed how much pressure Moraes was putting on X to provide secret censorship and private information. Musk has also mentioned Moraes in his post.
According to X, none of the company’s cases were heard in the Supreme Court of Brazil. Not only this, the users of Brazil have not been given any information about this. The company accused Moraes and said that he should have known that X employees in Brazil do not have the right to remove or block content from the platform, despite this the employees were threatened with legal action.
