At least 11 accounts linked to the spread of misinformation in Brazil have been banned from X over the past few days as the platform begins complying with supreme court orders.
Following almost a month of being blocked in Brazil, Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, has taken action to comply with local regulations.
According to local media reports, X started suspending accounts accused of spreading misinformation on Sept. 18, as ordered by Justice Alexandre de Moraes. In addition to suspending the accounts, lawyers for X announced that a new legal representative will be appointed in the country soon.
According to Brazilian law, social media platforms operating in the country must have a legal representative.
