According to ChainCatcher, the X platform's global government affairs team issued an announcement in response to "the Brazilian Supreme Court will suspend X's business in the country before August 29":
"Soon, we expect Judge Alexandre de Morais to order the closure of X in Brazil - simply because we will not comply with his illegal orders to censor his political opponents. These enemies include a duly elected senator and a 16-year-old girl, among others. When we tried to defend ourselves in court, Judge de Morais threatened to jail our Brazilian legal representative. Even after she resigned, he froze all her bank accounts. Our questions about his clearly illegal actions were either dismissed or ignored. The fundamental problem is that Judge de Morais is asking us to break Brazil's own laws.
In the coming days, in the interest of transparency, we will publish all of Judge de Morais’ unlawful requests and all related court documents. Unlike other social media and technology platforms, we do not comply with illegal orders in secret. To our users in Brazil and around the world, X remains committed to protecting your free speech.”
