recently, the dispute between social media platform "x" (formerly twitter) and brazilian federal supreme court justice alexandre de moraes has intensified, attracting global attention. according to the associated press and other media reports, on the 17th local time, "x" announced that it would immediately close its business in brazil and pointed the finger at de moraes' censorship measures.

reuters reported that musk posted a message on april 7 local time, questioning moraes' decision to order the blocking of certain accounts on the "x" platform in brazil. musk said that the "x" platform will cancel all these "unconstitutional" restrictions (blocking accounts) and called on alexandre de moraes to resign.

the wall street journal reported that brazil is cracking down on accounts that are identified as spreading hate speech, and some accounts on the "x" platform have been blocked for allegedly spreading hate speech. however, musk believes that these restrictions violate the principle of freedom of speech and decided to shut down "x"'s business in brazil in protest.

at present, brazil has not made a final decision on this matter.
