What is the allegation on Elon Musk's X? That lead to banning the app
Elon Musk's X has been banned in Brazil. The court has taken this action due to the long-running tussle between Musk and the court. The court has also ordered Google and Apple to remove X from their respective app stores. If someone uses X by installing a VPN, then there is a penalty rule for that too.
X has suffered a major setback amid the long-running tussle between Elon Musk and the Brazilian court. The Supreme Federal Court of Brazil has banned the use of X. If someone uses X by installing a VPN, then there is a penalty rule for that too. The order of Brazil Supreme Federal Court Judge Justice Alexander de Morias has been implemented immediately across the country.
Now the question in everyone's mind is what happened. In front of which neither Musk nor the court bowed down. Was Musk's platform really violating the country's social policies or is it something else. Let us understand the reasons why Musk's X has been banned in Brazil.
For quite some time now, the Brazilian court has been upset with X, but over the last few days, these things have changed rapidly. The reason: X's policy. According to the court, it has said that X is promoting things like the weakening of democracy and a coup in the country. These are not the first allegations of these types that X has faced. Even earlier, X had to face criticism over these things in Brazil.
Along with the ban, the court has also imposed a fine of 18 million reals, which comes to about 40 crores on the platform. According to reports, before banning, X was warned several times, and it deliberately ignored everything. As a result, pro-ban decisions were taken.
The court also issued strict orders to Apple and Google to remove X from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. They have given them 5 days for this. Musk's reaction also came on this. He said that trusting the current administration in Brazil is madness. When new leadership comes, it is expected this will change. Musk's reference was directly towards the Brazilian court.
The court also said that if someone uses X using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), then it can be a warning for him too. According to the information, a fine of 50 thousand riyals (about 11 lakhs) will be imposed for doing so.
