Brazil's telecommunications regulator said on Friday it was proceeding to suspend access to Elon Musk's X social network in the country in compliance with an order from a judge who has been locked in a months-long feud with the billionaire investor.
The move followed the expiry of a court-imposed deadline for the popular social media platform to name a legal representative in Brazil.
Musk has argued that Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes is trying to enforce unjustified censorship, while the judge has insisted that social media needs hate speech regulations.
"They're shutting down the #1 source of truth in Brazil," Musk said in a post on X on Friday.
