A block on Elon Musk’s X social network in Brazil starts to take effect early this morning after a Supreme Court judge ordered its suspension, according to AFP.

Access to the platform, formerly known as Twitter, was no longer possible for some users in the South American country, who are presented with a message asking them to reload the browser without being able to log in successfully.
