Elon Musk has been given a big blow by the Supreme Court of Brazil. In fact, Brazil’s Supreme Court judge Alexandre De Moraes has banned X. Judge Moraes had asked Musk to appoint a new legal representative for the company, but Musk did not pay heed to this. X was working in Brazil till Friday evening. Brazil telecommunication officials have been given 24 hours to shut it down.
Apart from this, a fine of about Rs 7.5 lakh per day will also be imposed on users accessing X via VPN after the ban.
Apple and Google have been given 5 days to block X from online stores. Along with this, Internet Service Providers have also been given 5 days to block X. Moraes wrote in his decision that X has been helpful in creating a completely illegal environment in Brazil’s social network. This also includes the 2024 local elections. He said that the company has repeatedly and deliberately disrespected the court order.
Judge Morez has also written in the order that users using X via VPN in Brazil will be fined $8874 per day, which is about Rs 7.5 lakh.
