X Corp, the Elon Musk-led company behind the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has announced the immediate closure of its operations in Brazil. The decision comes after Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes allegedly threatened the company’s legal representative in Brazil with arrest if it did not comply with censorship orders. CEO Linda Yaccarino expressed deep regret over the shutdown, calling it a "sad day for the people of Brazil." Despite the closure, the X platform will remain accessible in the country. The company’s move follows months of legal battles, with Musk previously vowing to lift restrictions on popular accounts in Brazil, even if it meant shutting down operations. X Corp criticised Moraes' actions as undemocratic, placing full responsibility for the shutdown on the justice. Elon Musk’s X Fined 7,00,000 Brazilian Reais for Not Complying With Censorship Orders by Brazil Supreme Court Justice Alexandre De Moraes.
