Today on Focal Point, Andy Stumpf and Mike Glover discuss the censorship controversies involving X and Elon Musk and the government of Brazil, as well as Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, and the federal government.

From THE NATIONAL REVIEW:

A panel of judges on Brazil’s supreme court upheld a ruling by Justice Alexandre de Moraes that instituted a total ban on the social-media site X. Under the terms of the order, internet service providers in Brazil cannot act as a conduit for X’s traffic, app stores in Brazil are obliged to delete the X app from their catalogues, and the use of VPNs or other traffic rerouting tools to circumvent the prohibition carries a fine of nearly $9,000 per day. The proximate cause of Brazil’s ban was that X’s owner, Elon Musk, had refused to comply with a court order requiring him to remove certain accounts that had been accused of spreading “misinformation.”
