Brazil bans X – level 1

Brazil bans X

03-09-2024 07:00

Social media platform X, previously Twitter, cannot do business in Brazil.

The top court says that they must stop. This happens because X does not pick a new lawyer in time. The judge says that X cannot work. First, it must follow all rules and pay fines. The problem starts because X does not remove some information about an event in 2022. In 2022, a group of people plan to attack the government.

Elon Musk is the owner of X. He says that the ban is bad. People cannot speak freely. Brazil has many people who use X. This ban will hurt them. People who try to use X can get into trouble and get a fine.

Difficult words: lawyer (a person whose job is to help people with the rules of a country), fine (money which you pay when you break a rule), remove (to take away).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What must X do before it can resume operations in Brazil according to the top court's ruling?
