Elon Musk defies X ban in Brazil by beaming app from space

Elon Musk has found a way to bypass a ban on his social media firm X in Brazil by allowing people in the country to access the app through his satellite internet provider Starlink. Brazil’s Supreme Court voted on Monday to uphold a ban on X that was introduced last week by Justice Alexandre de Moraes after the company failed to follow a court order to appoint a new legal representative in the country. Mr Musk criticised the ruling, claiming that Judge Moraes was a “dictator” who should be impeached for violating freedom of speech.
