X, formerly Twitter, has been banned in Brazil after failing to meet a deadline set by a Supreme Court judge to name a new legal representative in the country.
Alexandre de Moraes ordered the “immediate and complete suspension” of the platform until it complies with all court orders and pays existing fines.
“Free speech is the bedrock of democracy and an unelected pseudo-judge in Brazil is destroying it for political purposes,” said Elon Musk, X owner.
The row began in April, with the judge ordering the suspension of dozens of X accounts for allegedly spreading disinformation.

X is not a free speech platform. They ban people for saying what is true and proper just as Facebook and Instagram do.
