Musk's X suspended in Brazil after ruling by judge

Brazil's Supreme Court has ordered the "immediate and complete suspension" of X, formerly Twitter, in the country.

In a statement, the court said it will ban the social media platform until X complies with all court orders and pays existing fines.

Justice Moraes, who has been involved in a long-running row with X, had given the social media platform 24 hours to name a new legal representative or face suspension, with a deadline of Thursday evening.

The platform is expected to be unavailable in the country within the next 24 hours.
