Twitter to Close Operations in Brazil Due to Judge's Order
Media platform X announced on Saturday that it would “effectively immediately” close operations in Brazil following Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes’ “censorship orders.”
Elon Musk’s company X has claimed that Moraes threatened to arrest one of the company’s legal representatives in the South American nation if it disobeyed court orders to remove certain content from its platform.
X posted pictures of a document allegedly signed by Moraes that says a daily fine of $3,653 and an arrest decree would be imposed against X representative Rachel Nova Conceicao if the platform did not fully comply with Moraes’ orders.
“To protect the safety of our staff, we have made the decision to close our operation in Brazil, effective immediately,” X said.
