Brazil Lifts Ban on X After The Platform Agrees to Censor Accounts

by Cindy Harper, Reclaim The Net:

The Supreme Court in Brazil has ruled to end the suspension on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X. This decision comes after an intense dispute lasting over a month between the judicial power and the popular online platform, featuring notable clashes over censorship demands.

This significant ruling is the result of a legal dispute that kicked off when, in a late August verdict, Judge Alexandre de Moraes mandated a nationwide blockade of the platform. The platform found itself under scrutiny for refusing to secretly censor accounts in Brazil, particularly from supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
