The Guardian’s Latin America correspondent, Tom Phillips, discusses how Elon Musk found himself in a feud with Brazil’s government leading to the banning of Twitter in the country. The ban was a response to Musk’s refusal to comply with court orders to remove Twitter profiles accused of spreading disinformation and not naming a local legal representative. Musk’s decision not to obey Brazilian legislation resulted in Twitter being blocked, causing a disruptive turn of events. The implications of this dispute raise concerns for Brazilians who rely on Musk-owned Starling devices for internet connectivity. With Twitter being a major platform for communication and information sharing, the ban could have significant implications for people in Brazil. The article highlights the importance of keeping journalism open and accessible to all, emphasizing the need for reader support to maintain independent reporting. As the situation unfolds, it will be interesting to see how the feud between Musk and the Brazilian government continues to develop and the impact it has on internet access and communication in the country.
