After a months-long legal battle, the South African magnate X’s social network agrees to the impositions of Brazilian justice in order to sustain its operation in one of its largest markets.

Elon Musk finally accepted orders of the Brazilian Supreme Court of Justice (STF), presenting a judicial document in which guarantees that the social network X will comply with court orders, hoping that lift up the platform veto, as reported by New York Times.

As indicated by his lawyers, the company will do everything imposed by the court, even block accounts linked to disinformation circulation, and other judicial impositions. “Including the payment of fines and the appointment of a new legal representative in the country,” X’s legal team detailed.

This Saturday, the court had kept blocking from the network, despite Musk’s company having appointed a legal representative in the country on Friday. The designation came a day after X was fined $ 900 a day for trying to circumvent the blockade..

Alexandre de Moraes, the judge handling the case in the STF, demanded new ones from the company documents attesting to the appointment of this legal representative, and asked the government and the Central Bank to report on the financial situation of the company.

The court granted the ex-Twitter five days to complete all necessary documentation to demonstrate that the measures have indeed been carried out.

Informative freedoms

The conflict started when De Moraes started an investigation and detected that certain accounts they had spread false information about the Brazilian electoral process. The judge proceeded to claim closing such accounts, to which the network responded refusing to blocking and abandoning its operations in Brazil.

Disrespect of the order continued X’s service veto in Brazilas well as the imposition of millionaire fines in case you want to avoid the ban.

With this, Musk launched to attack De Moraes, responsible for the investigation, accused him of being a “dictator with a cap ”, and supported calls from the Brazilian extreme right of the former president Jair Bolsonaro to remove him.

Brazil is an extremely important market for X. Analysts estimate that in Brazil there are some 20 million users of the social network.

Elon Musk’s X gives up fight in Brazil, starts complying with judge’s demands

X announces reversal but must prove compliance before it can be reinstated.

Elon Musk is apparently conceding defeat in his fight with Brazil Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes, as the X social platform has started complying with the judge’s demands in an attempt to get the service un-blocked in the country.

X previously refused to suspend dozens of accounts accused of spreading disinformation. Internet service providers have been blocking X under orders from the government since early September, and De Moraes seized $2 million from a Starlink bank account and $1.3 million from an X account to collect on fines issued to X.

X has claimed the orders violate Brazil’s own laws. “Unlike other social media and technology platforms, we will not comply in secret with illegal orders. To our users in Brazil and around the world, X remains committed to protecting your freedom of speech,” the company said in late August.

But in a reversal detailed in a court filing on Friday night, “X’s lawyers said the company had done exactly what Mr. Musk vowed not to: take down accounts that a Brazilian justice ordered removed because the judge said they threatened Brazil’s democracy,” The New York Times reported. “X also complied with the justice’s other demands, including paying fines and naming a new formal representative in the country, the lawyers said.” (X said last month that its previous legal representative in Brazil resigned after de Moraes threatened her with imprisonment.)

X has to prove compliance

According to Reuters, “It was not immediately clear which were the accounts X has been ordered to block, as the probe is confidential.” But it has been reported that many of the accounts belonged to supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who was accused of instigating the January 8, 2023, attack on the Brazilian Congress after his election loss. Some of the accounts reportedly belonged to users accused of threatening federal police officers involved in a probe of Bolsonaro.

De Moraes acknowledged X’s about-face in an order issued Saturday and said that X must submit documents proving its compliance before it can be reinstated. X had an estimated 22 million users in Brazil before the suspension. Bluesky and Meta’s Threads gained users in the country after X was blocked by ISPs.

X briefly became accessible in Brazil last week after the company started routing traffic through Cloudflare, but Brazil’s telecom regulatory agency said that Cloudflare subsequently made changes that let ISPs resume their blocking of X without affecting other websites that use Cloudflare. (Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince later denied working with the Brazilian government to implement any such changes.) While X said it was merely “an inadvertent and temporary service restoration to Brazilian users,” de Moraes announced a new daily fine of more than $900,000 for failing to comply with the order suspending X operations in Brazil.

Canada Next… Federal Bill C-293

HERE’S what’s WRONG with this BILL:

Bill C-293: Third Reading: https://www.parl.ca/documentviewer/en/44-1/bill/C-293/third-reading

C-293 MUST be DEFEATED because it is a comprehensive threat to Canada’s civil structure and our rights.
No term is defined and no power is limited. The grant of power is overly broad in the following ways:

1. The One Health Approach covers all sectors, and all disciplines (‘multisectoral,’ ‘multidisciplinary’). It covers ‘animal, human, plant and ecosystem health’ which purports to be everything in the natural world. It includes the ‘welfare Interface’ which is all of citizens’ interactions with government and asserts that everything is ‘central, to preventing future pandemics.’
2. There is no definition of pandemic.
3. The plan covers any ‘risk’ that ‘could lead’ to a pandemic, where risk is not defined and does not have to be a proximate or material cause.
4. It is geographically and jurisdictionally broad, impacting Canadians’ activities at home and abroad. Activities are not defined.
5. It has many other jurisdictional issues. The plan requires all levels of government and indigenous communities to overcome ‘jurisdiction challenges’ (which could include court’s jurisdiction, provincial jurisdictions, territorial jurisdiction, and indigenous treaty jurisdiction). Jurisdiction challenges are not defined.
6. Those in charge of the plan define the ‘state of research’ in order to establish interlinking surveillance systems which erode privacy.
7. Controllers determine the working conditions of employees across all sectors; manage (restrict access to) stockpiles and thus create a Soviet style command economy in which government controls all means of production and distribution.
8. Controllers define and manage ‘communication of risk to the public’ and therefore create and control the narrative without challenge. They set the ‘communications capacity; infrastructure for electronic platforms’; provide for elimination or reduction of meat production and consumption, and support investment in alternative proteins (e.g., bugs) instead.
9. Under the guise of reducing deforestation, the controllers determine land use in Canada, which has the power to expropriate rural, urban, agricultural and other lands and property from their owners.
10. It burdens Canadians with massive expenditures to address ‘global health equity’ and ‘global deforestation’ (aka agriculture).
11. C-293 allows the government of Canada to conclude agreements with organizations like WHO, UN Environment Program, Food and Agriculture Organization without public consultation, participation, or consent.
12. It allows for border measures such as “vaccine” passports and restriction of transportation.
13. It gives an additional unlimited, undefined grant of power to ‘the coordinator,’ allowing the Minister to ‘delegate to the coordinator powers, duties and functions that the Minister considers appropriate.’ None of these powers, duties, or functions is defined within this Act.
All powers granted by this Bill are broad, excessive and create jurisdictional issues. C-293 allows through ‘sustained collaboration’ (undefined), embedding of those in charge of this plan in all levels of government AND indigenous communities, all for the purpose of reducing an unquantified ‘risk,’ that ‘could cause’ an undefined event alleged to be an undefined pandemic.
14. C-293 grants these authorities to the Public Health Agency of Canada which, since the adoption of the 2005 International Health Regulations, has been a satellite office or focal point of the World Health Organization (WHO).
C-293 institutes a Marxist takeover of our country. The review committee is an irrelevant issue and a deceitful distraction from the purpose of this Bill, which is a severe infringement of rights on a grand scale.
All Senators must defeat this Bill. MPs must cross the floor to recall the Bill.
Provincial MLAs and Premieres need an immediate legal review of the broad jurisdictional assaults of this Federal Bill in order to pre-emptively go to Court to stop the operation of Bill C-293. The provinces must protect our rights when a Federal Bill has totalitarian reach into their Constitutional authority.
Canada as we know it, and love, will no longer exist with the enacting of C-293.
