Brazil’s Supreme Court Suspends Twitter Operations Over Non-Compliance

A Brazilian Supreme Court judge has ordered the suspension of Twitter operations in the country. The ruling, issued by Judge Alexandre de Moraes, follows what he described as repeated legal violations by Elon Musk’s company. Moraes cited Twitter’s failure to comply with court orders, including a deadline to appoint a legal representative in Brazil. He stated that the platform will remain suspended until all court orders are fulfilled, fines are paid, and a representative is appointed. This decision underscores the growing tension between social media platforms and governments worldwide over content moderation and compliance with local regulations.
