In a series of developments in Brazil, Elon Musk and the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) are at the center of a controversy involving censorship, judicial threats, and political tension. The Brazilian government, under Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, has been accused of exerting undue pressure on X to censor content and silence dissent, leading to widespread criticism and concerns over freedom of speech. Musk has publicly opposed these demands, citing violations of Brazilian law and the principle of free speech. This standoff has escalated to the point where Brazilian authorities have threatened to ban X entirely from the country, impose daily fines of $20,000, and arrest X employees. The situation has garnered international attention, with the U.S. House of Representatives inquiring into the actions taken by X in Brazil. Amidst this, various Brazilian politicians and journalists have voiced their support for Musk, seeing him as a champion of free speech against what they describe as authoritarian censorship by the Brazilian government. Additionally, the controversy has sparked a surge in VPN downloads in Brazil, as citizens seek to maintain access to X amid fears of a ban.

If government censorship of people -- with no due process or standard of truth -- is wrong in Brazil, it is wrong in the US, UK, and the EU. The Western silicon curtain of censorship makes the world ripe for tyranny everywhere.
