Brazil's Supreme Court might close X because of a fight about legal representation.

A Brazilian judge is very upset with X, the company formerly known as Twitter. The judge said X must have a legal person in Brazil or the platform could be shut down.

This problem started because X and the judge disagree about free speech. The judge thinks X is not doing enough to stop the spread of lies and harmful content.

X is upset because the judge threatened to arrest one of its employees in Brazil. Because of this, X removed all of its remaining staff from the country.

The judge's order was sent directly to X on its own platform. It said that X must follow the order or risk being shut down in Brazil.

Free speech rules are different in Brazil than in the United States. Some people think the judge is going too far, while others think he is protecting Brazil's democracy.
