X is now officially barred from accessible to Brazilians. The site was barred after failing to submit a representative to face a charge of violating Brazilian law on fake content online and suspending the account that spread it.
Brazilian High Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes issued a directive to a telecommunications company yesterday to prevent access to X yesterday within 24 hours. Google and Apple are given a five -day period to remove X from their app store. Originally De Moraes also issued a Brazilian user's instructions that accessed X through the VPN would be fined $ 9000 a day but it was then retracted after receiving academic criticism.
Yesterday De Moraes issued a command to block Starlink's bank account as a pressure on Elon Musk to name X representative for trial in court. It faces a $ 3 million fine for various offenses in violation of Brazilian law. A week ago as a sign of protest, Elon Musk closed the X office in Brazil.
