From the EU to Brazil, the battle that X has to wage against censorship-prone governments is not winding down.
It’s been months now that X, and its owner Elon Musk, have been embroiled in disputes over censorship demands coming out of Brazil, specifically its Supreme Federal Court (STF).
Musk dubbed the demand for X to comply with yet another batch of censorship demands as, “not right.” And instead of, say, a meme, he included screenshots of the orders (in Portuguese) as he replied to a post featuring the news.
This platform is being asked to censor content in Brazil where the censorship demands require us to violate Brazilian law! That is not right. https://t.co/ovsIA1QBNg
