X says it is closing its "operation in Brazil" due to threats of arrest against its staff by government officials
This is awkward.
Last night, Alexandre de Moraes threatened our legal representative in Brazil with arrest if we do not comply with his censorship orders. He did so in a secret order, which we share here to expose his actions.
Despite our numerous appeals to the Supreme Court not being heard, the Brazilian public not being informed about these orders and our Brazilian staff having no responsibility or control over whether content is blocked on our platform, Moraes has chosen to threaten our staff in Brazil rather than respect the law or due process.
As a result, to protect the safety of our staff, we have made the decision to close our operation in Brazil, effective immediately.
The X service remains available to the people of Brazil.
We are deeply saddened that we have been forced to make this decision. The responsibility lies solely with Alexandre de Moraes.

Nothing terrifies governments more than freedom of speech.
It neutralizes their propaganda.
They “hate” it.
That is why they call it “hate speech”.
When one man says NO, the government gets scared.
“Kamala and the DOJ are taking notes. They’ll be in touch with the Brazil officials to see exactly how to threaten X out of existence. Next, they’re be looking to threaten FOX out of existence.”
Nah, they’ve already got Fox in the bag and have had for some time now. They’ll be after Newsmax next. And Rumble is a dangerous threat to their takeover. Gotta get rid of all that pesky, nasty free speech platforming. It’s a “threat to our democracy”, after all.
Ain’t communism grand? Arresting your political enemies. Arresting anti government media.
Your Ukraine sucklings do much worse - banning not only opposition press, but jailing and outlawing opposition parties and even the ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
Hypocrite. Eurotrash mystery-meat floating turd.
GTFO of Free Republic.
“It neutralizes their propaganda.” Truth destroys the lie. Call out the liars to anyone who will listen to your reason. Turn off and walk away from them. Do not vote them into positions of power in government or industry. The republic will be a better place. The truthful individual will have many attackers.
Especially when he owns/controls all the satellites that feed the internet to his country and can turn it off by playing with his computers.
“GTFO of Free Republic.”
So we can take it that you want to silence those with whom you don’t agree, just like they want to in Brazil, the UK, the Democrat Party, our own Deep State and so on?
Binary thinking. You are on to something.
Priorities?
Who the Hell are you?
HA HA!
He’s against the authoritarianism of Zelensky but FOR the authoritarianism of Putin, and even for it being applied here apparently.
Like I said in my other reply to him: why can’t we be against all authoritarianism and hate the Dems, Zelensky, Putin, and the govt of Brazil?
Oh look, another anonymous mystery clown, sniveling at me on Free Republic.
Meanwhile your globaloid posting history is exclusively foreign. All about Ukraine, Isreal etc. - nothing having to do with America/Americans. Another internationalist floating turd....given a free hand here instead of being shown the door.

“Our fundraiser is falling behind.”
“That is why they call it “hate speech”.”
In the USSR they called it “anti Soviet propaganda” and was a very serious crime.
