Social media giant X has been banned in Brazil.
It’s the latest development in a months-long dispute between a Supreme Court judge and tech billionaire Elon Musk over censorship and disinformation.
Brazil isn’t the first country to restrict access to the platform.

How should social media giants be regulated? And is censorship being used as a political tool?
