A popular social network X, formerly known as Twitter, began to go dark in Brazil on the 30th of August 2024. After the decision of the nation’s Supreme Court, the social media platform is to be blocked because of failing to comply with the local laws and regulations aimed at controlling the principles of security, justice, and democracy. According to Alexandro de Moraes, Brazil's Supreme Court Justice, X was banned for its refusal to suspend multiple accounts accused of spreading misinformation and hate speech.
