The Brazilian Supreme Court has given Elon Musk twenty-four hours to designate a legal agent for X in the nation or risk having the platform suspended.
Billionaire Elon Musk was given a 24-hour notice to designate a legal representation for his messaging network X in Brazil by Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, failing which the service would be suspended in the nation, according to a court ruling.
Because of what it called "censorship orders" from Moraes, X stated earlier this month that it will close its operations and terminate its employees in Brazil. However, it said that consumers in Brazil would still be able to access the company's service.
Musk's and X's Global Government Affairs accounts were mentioned in a screenshot of the court's order from Wednesday that the Supreme Court shared on its X account.
An outside of regular business hours comment request was issued to X, and it was not immediately answered.
According to the ruling by Moraes, businesses that violate Brazilian laws or the privacy of individuals' personal data may face a temporary suspension of operations under the nation's internet regulations.
