U.S. House Questions Twitter on Account Blocks in Brazil After Musk Sparring with Courts
• X received an inquiry from the U.S. House regarding actions in Brazil that violated Brazilian law • X was asked to suspend accounts of Brazilian parliament members and journalists • This comes after a Brazilian Supreme Court judge opened an inquiry into Musk for saying he would reactivate blocked accounts • The judge ordered X to block certain accounts or face fines of $19,736 per day for noncompliance • Musk said X will likely lose all Brazil revenue and shut down its office there but principles matter more than profit
