Judge suspends X platform in Brazil amid feud with Elon Musk

This is very true. The far right in Brazil benefits greatly from the platform through fake news. But this is no excuse to block the entire platform.

The judge may have decided that a finer grained punishment was not feasible purely from an enforcement point of view, or for other reasons.

But the real problem is that he went after other companies (Starlink) that have no connection to X, despite being the same owner. It was a siege against Musk. Starlink provides communication and internet to Brazil, there are already thousands of users in the country (even the Brazilian military uses it), the supreme court judge surrounded all of Musk's assets, because he knows that Starlink would not comply with the decision to block internet providers' access to X, allowing broad freedom of access from its platforms.

This is a much bigger issue involving many governments. The European and Australian governments have their own list of issues with the global social media giants, including Alphabet and Meta.
