RIO DE JANEIRO (Sputnik) - Thousands of Brazilians took to the streets to protest against the decision of Judge Alexandre de Morais to block X, a Sputnik correspondent reported. On August 30, Brazil's Supreme Federal Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes ordered the blocking of X in the country due to Elon Musk's refusal to appoint a new legal representative for the social network. In addition, the judge had previously frozen Starlink's accounts in Brazil for the same reason. The Supreme Court then upheld Morais's decision to suspend X. At the same time, Musk emphasized that the social network X and Starlink, which is part of SpaceX, are two legally different companies, so the Brazilian court's decision to freeze the latter's accounts is illegal. In Rio de Janeiro, hundreds of citizens gathered on Copacabana Beach to demand the resignation of the judge.
