Many view this move as a direct attack on free speech, rallying supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro, whose term ended 20 months ago.
The protests against the ban serve as a critical barometer for Bolsonaro’s enduring influence. While he is no longer in office, the demonstrations show that Bolsonaro, along with his supporters, remains a potent political force as the country heads into municipal elections.

The Battle Between Musk and de Moraes
At the center of the controversy is the conflict between Elon Musk and Justice Alexandre de Moraes.
De Moraes banned X following months of legal wrangling with Musk, who refused to remove accounts that the court accused of disseminating harmful content.
This clash is not just a legal issue but a cultural and political flashpoint, as it places Brazil at the center of a broader global debate over the regulation of social media.
De Moraes’ critics argue that his actions have crossed the line into censorship. Supporters of Bolsonaro, who have rallied behind Musk, believe that the judge is stifling free speech under the guise of combating hate speech.
