Elon Musk is scheduled to testify before the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee on May 8 regarding allegations of censorship by Brazilian Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes. This follows a series of events where Brazilian authorities, including de Moraes, have taken actions perceived as censoring social media and news outlets, such as the removal of Flávio Gordon's profile for sharing content critical of electronic voting machines and summoning the news outlet Space Liberdade for a 'crime of opinion'. Recently, a U.S. congressional committee released sealed Brazilian court orders related to account suspensions on Musk's social media platform X, and the Brazilian Federal Public Defender's Office has filed a lawsuit against Musk, seeking R$ 1 billion for allegedly threatening Brazilian democracy and proposing a R$ 500,000 fine for each act of disobedience by X. Additionally, there are reports of a potential judicial block on messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram.
