Elon Musk has lambasted Alexandre de Moraes, one of the 10 judges on Brazil's Supreme Court, for ordering X to block several accounts, including that of a blogger and two members of Congress. For a while now, Brazil's Constitutional Court has been clamping down on so-called #digitalmilitias accused of spreading #disinformation and #vitriol online. https://www.dw.com/en/musk-feuds-with-brazils-top-judge-over-x/a-68779749 #SocialMedia #Accountability #Twitter

“Brazil Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes initiated an investigation of tech magnate Elon Musk on Sunday, the billionaire owner and CTO of social network X (formerly Twitter). The probe concerns possible obstruction of justice by Musk who said, over the weekend, he would defy the court's orders to restrict or suspend some popular accounts on its platform.

Moraes also ordered the inclusion of Musk in a broader inquiry into so-called "digital militias," a term applied to people accused of spreading misinformation online to attack democratic institutions in Brazil.”
