Brazil’s supreme court upholds ban on Elon Musk’s X over ‘illegal conduct’
theguardian.com
Members of Brazil’s supreme court have unanimously voted to uphold the ban on X, after Elon Musk’s refusal to comply with local laws led to the social network being blocked in one of its biggest markets.
On Monday, five of the court’s justices were asked to consider Friday’s decision to temporarily banish X from Brazil, where the platform has more than 21 million users. By lunchtime all five had voted in favour of the ban.
Casting his vote in favour of X’s continued suspension, Flávio Dino said the company’s decision to “deliberately” ignore a court order to name a legal representative in Brazil suggested it “considered itself above the rule of law”.

The really funny thing here is that Elon's Twitter has openly complied with censorship orders from Hungary already. The free speech stuff is fake. Twitter does overt political censorship on request.
The Hungarian twitter community is very small, I’d be surprised if it were a censorship target. Do you have a source on this?
My bad, it was Turkey, not Hungary.
