Harris-Walz admin would be 'perfect nightmare' for free speech, Turley warns Elon Musk says Brazil ian judge should go to prison in latest attack after X ban upheld“The billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX is correct when he says a Brazil ian jurist’s move to unilaterally prohibit X, which he owns, from operating in the country is an assault on internet speech around the world,”the “immediate and complete suspension” of the social media platform until it complies with all court orders and...

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes’ actions to shut down X, have come at “a substantial cost to free expression,” the Post wrote, “with mandates for removals and even arrest warrants often issued under seal and with scant reasoning to support them.” The paper noted, “The recent move against X is both more of the same and just plain more: After X ignored the court’s orders to block more than 140 accounts, the justice warned he would arrest its legal representative in Brazil.

“If this sounds authoritarian, it is,” the paper said. “Whatever the threat to democracy that the accounts Mr. Moraes wanted gone might have posed, the threat from one government official limiting the speech of 220 million people is greater.” The paper’s defense of Musk comes after the billionaire has routinely been a target of criticism for the Post. The paper repeatedly attacked Musk as he sought to take ownership of then-Twitter in 2022.
