X suspends business in Brazil over censorship row
The social media platform says its legal representative was threatened by a supreme court judge.
The social media platform said a Brazilian Supreme Court judge, Alexandre de Moraes, threatened its legal representative in Brazil with arrest if it did not comply with his "censorship orders". After X owner Musk criticised Mr Moraes, the judge ordered 100,000 reais ($19,774; £15,670) fines a day for any account that X reactivated, and stressed the possible liability of the company's legal representatives in Brazil if this were to happen. He added that the decision to close the office in Brazil was "difficult", but if the company agreed to Mr Moraes' "demands, there was no way we could explain our actions without being ashamed".
