The court issued a statement via its government website in Brazil on Friday, saying that it had ordered "the immediate and complete suspension of the operation of X, formerly Twitter, throughout the national territory until the Court's judicial decisions are complied with and the fines applied are paid." The statement also said that the order will be valid "until a representative of the company in the country is appointed."
Brazil's supreme court announced on Wednesday that Musk and X had 24 hours to either appoint a legal representative for its business in Brazil or face a "penalty of suspension of activities" there. The deadline passed Thursday evening.
