The Brazilian Supreme Court has banned access to the X social media platform in the country.
Axar.az, Reuters reported this information.
The court has given a 24-hour deadline for the X social media platform to appoint a legal representative in Brazil.
It has been stated that the decision will remain in force until the company appoints a legal representative in Brazil and pays the fines:
"Internet providers and app stores are given five days to block access to the X platform. Any individual or entity attempting to access an X account through methods like VPN will be fined."
The owner of the platform, Elon Musk, commented on the decision of the Brazilian court on his X account:
"Freedom of expression is the cornerstone of democracy, and an unelected judge in Brazil is destroying it for political reasons."
It should be noted that the Brazilian Supreme Court had previously requested X to provide user data of some individuals and to block certain accounts.
Musk, however, did not comply with the court's request and closed the platform's office in Brazil.
