Anyone trying to access X in Brazil was blocked on Saturday, after the country enforced a court-ordered suspension of Elon Musk’s social media site.
Over the past 24 hours, Brazilians, including President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, have been bidding farewell to X, with some posting links to their profiles on other social media platforms. Attempts to access the site on a web browser or through the app on Saturday were met with an error message. The blockage comes after Brazil’s Supreme Court on Friday ordered the suspension of X nationwide, because Musk refused to name a legal representative in the country.
The service, which does not require any cable connection, is particularly popular in the Amazon rainforest and remote rural locations, and is used daily by academics, tourism operators and public officers in the region, as well as Brazilian Army units deployed there. During Starlink’s appeal, the company argued that the company is not a part of the case against X, and that the order to freeze its accounts violates its basic property rights.
