About this sermon
The social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, remains suspended and unavailable to a reported 40 million users in Brazil. Earlier this week, the South American country's Supreme Court upheld a judge's decision to block X nationwide. It likely will not be resorted until the social media giant must pay fines of more than $3 million. The disagreement began amid claims by a judge in Brazil that X is home to misinformation. X owner Elon Musk fought back, saying the platform is dedicated to free speech. Professor of Law and Director of the Intellectual Property Information and Communications Law Program at Michigan State University, Adam Candeub, joins to share his thoughts on Brazil's decision to shut down X. Russia, China and North Korea have all banned access to the social media giant, but unlike these countries Brazil is considered a democracy. According to a Wall Street Journal report, Brazil's president states that "The world is not obliged to put up with Musk's far-right ideology just because he is rich". Candeub discusses who determines whether one's ideology is considered far-right or far-left and whether free speech is allowed in a democracy. He fills us in on what the chances are that X will be restored to Brazil at some point in the near future. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
