How Brazil's experiment fighting fake news led to a ban on X

Brazil's Supreme Court has given one justice, Alexandre de Moraes, the power to order social networks to remove content he believes threatens democracy. De Moraes has used this authority aggressively and effectively to combat disinformation during Brazil's election. However, his recent decision to block social network X across the country, and the threat of fines for users trying to circumvent the ban, has raised concerns about the country's approach to policing speech online. Other governments, like the US and the European Union, are also grappling with the issue of regulating social networks. Critics argue that Brazil's extreme measures set a dangerous precedent for democratic nations.
