🚨 URGENT! 🚨 The tyrant of the Brazilian Supreme Court, Alexandre de Moraes, has just used a post on X to issue a judicial order demanding that @elonmusk appoint a legal representative for the platform in Brazil within 24 hours. If the order is not complied with, Moraes threatens to completely disconnect the service in the country, in a move reminiscent of Nicolás Maduro's tactics in Venezuela.
In recent weeks, X closed its office in Brazil, the platform's fifth-largest market with nearly 30 million users, after Moraes threatened to arrest the company’s executives who did not comply with his censorship orders.
Two of these censorship orders, which X did not follow, concern two new profiles I created to bypass the censorship that this main profile has been subjected to in the country since December 2022.
Moraes’ actions are yet another blatant attack on free speech and an abuse of power that reveals his true authoritarian nature. Brazil is being ruled by a judge who behaves like a dictator, using his position to silence dissenting voices and impose his will on everyone, with no regard for fundamental freedoms.
