Musk disobeyed the country's laws, platform “X” shut down in Brazil

One of the world's most populated social networks, “X”, is offline in Brazil. The latter is the fifth country for the largest digital population, and the decision was made after Elon Musk refused to obey the laws of the country.

Millions of X platform users found themselves without access to this platform on Saturday morning, as internet providers and mobile phone companies were forced to implement the ban on “X”.

A large number of Brazilians sought refuge in the rival network, Blueeski, who reportedly had won 500,000 users in the last two days, reports A2.

Welcome to Bluesky! ” The company wrote to a post for its new users in Portuguese.

The new Bluesky members included Felipe Neto, one of Brazil's leading social media influencers with more than 17 million X followers.

Remember, when you go to another country, you are obliged to follow its legislation, even if you do not agree with it”, Neto wrote.

The X ban, which has more than 22 million users in Brazil, is the basis of a politically charged battle for months now between the country's highest court and the right-of-tech billionaire.
