ALBAWABA - Social networking company X has said that it is closing its Brazilian office immediately in response to threats of legal action against its representative for defying censorship regulations.
Lebanon in total darkness due to power outage hits entire country, including airport and portThe Chief Justice of the Brazilian Supreme Court, Alexandre de Moraes, threatened to imprison X's attorney in Brazil if the platform disobeyed the court's censorship orders, according to a statement made by X's Global Government Relations department.
The declaration stressed that Moraes operated under a "secret order" and denounced the Brazilian Supreme Court for dismissing X's appeals, hiding facts from the Brazilian public, and endangering the company's local employees, who are unable to regulate material on the platform.
X has made the decision to promptly close its Brazilian office in reaction to these events, expressing worries for the security of its staff. X will go on providing its services in Brazil in spite of this shutdown, and it holds Moraes solely accountable for the circumstances.
Rejecting Moraes' conduct as inconsistent with democratic values, the statement declared that "the Brazilian people must choose between democracy and Alexandre de Moraes."
The owner of X, Elon Musk, recognized that closing the Brazilian operations was a difficult choice. He claimed that there would have been no way for X to defend such acts without seeming foolish if it had agreed with Moraes' "illegal" secret censoring directives and demands for personal information.
