An uncertainty began to surround X, previously called Twitter, after Elon Musk, the billionaire who bought the digital platform, stated on Saturday (6) that he would not comply with Brazilian court decisions and would show how the actions of the minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Alexandre de Moraes, violated Brazilian laws.
On Sunday (7), Moraes ordered the opening of an investigation against Musk and asked for the North American to be included in the digital militia investigation.
“I also emphasize that it is unacceptable that any of the representatives of the providers of social networks and private messaging services, especially the current ex-Twitter “X”, are unaware of the criminal instrumentalization that has been carried out by the so-called digital militias”, he adds the minister.
The uproar raised alarm among X users, who are worried about the possibility of Musk failing to comply with court decisions and this leading to the platform being taken down.
