Social media platform X, formerly Twitter, will shutter its local operations in Brazil following a bitter legal tussle over the platform’s rights and responsibilities, owner Elon Musk said on Saturday.The closure was the apparent culmination of an ongoing legal battle between Musk and Brazilian Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes, who has said he is trying to fight the spread of dangerous disinformation online.
It said the office closure was necessary “to protect the safety of our staff,“ adding, “the responsibility lies solely with Alexandre de Moraes.” “Freedom of expression doesn’t mean freedom of aggression,“ Moraes has said. “It doesn’t mean the freedom to defend tyranny.”He presides over Brazil’s Superior Electoral Tribunal , and last year it declared Bolsonaro ineligible to run again for office, saying he had disseminated false information about the electoral system.The CEO said Saturday that had X complied with Moraes’s orders, “there was no way we could explain our actions without being ashamed.
