00:00It's Benzinga, and here's what's on the block.
00:02Elon Musk's social media platform X announced the immediate closure of its operations in
00:07Brazil, citing censorship orders from Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes.
00:12X claims that Moraes secretly threatened one of its legal representatives with arrest if
00:16the platform did not comply with orders to remove certain content.
00:19The social media platform remains available to Brazilian users.
00:23The move follows Moraes' earlier actions to block accounts spreading misinformation
00:27under former president Bolsonaro.
00:29Musk condemned Moraes' actions as unconstitutional.
