SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilians are split over Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes' order for social media giant X to be taken down in the country, a poll shows.
A slight majority of those surveyed say the judge is right in his feud with billionaire X owner Elon Musk, but user-targeted fines on VPNs and the freezing of Starlink accounts in the country were seen as "abusive".
