Elon Musk’s X will now comply with court demands in Brazil so it can resume operations in the country and potentially end its feud with a powerful judge over free speech, far-right accounts and misinformation.

(snip)

At first, X had warned it would not comply with the “illegal” orders, but its lawyers have now said the platform will pay the fines it owes and that it has also started to block the accounts in question.

It was not immediately clear which were the accounts X has been ordered to block, as the probe is confidential.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Looks like Brazil is the first vector to get X back to heady days of shadow banning.
Prediction:

Watch for the next attack vector to come from the EU.

And these actions will be used to censor US users regarding US matters, under the guise of "complying with Brazil and EU diktats".

Next the Communist Dimocrats will insist in new rules for X here. I don’t use it, but free speech is under attack in this Republic and if Harris “wins” the election and the Commies get control of the House & retain the Senate, I fear for the Supreme Court, the Constitution and Bill of Rights. They will seek for so many changes that they can change the law of the land with a few court decisions from their new SC and trashing of the BofR and Constitution. Our very freedoms are in severe jeopardy if the commies “win”. I am in my 70s and in the lighttight of my life, but my kids and grands all have to keep living in this new utopia the commies have planned for Amerika. Probably even a name change of the country.
