X’s ban in Brazil doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere anytime soon.
The country’s Supreme Court voted unanimously to uphold the decision on Monday, per the BBC, meaning the site will remain banned — and any anyone attempting to access it via a VPN will still be at risk of a fine.
The Supreme Court decision isn’t necessarily the biggest surprise, given that it’s one of its own justices, Alexandre de Moraes, is the ban’s main driving force. Musk and de Moraes previously clashed when the justice ordered X to remove misinformation, which X described as “censorship”. X’s official Global Affairs account then said the company’s legal representative had been threatened with arrest, which resulted in X closing down its operation in Brazil — leading directly to the ban.
In its latest post, X’s Global Affairs account said it would be publishing “all of Judge de Moraes’ illegal demands and all related court filings in the interest of transparency” in the days to come.
As for Musk, it seems likely that he’ll continue to share angry posts and self-owning memes until this is resolved.
