Brazil

The First Amendment right to free speech is unique to the US constitution as evidenced by the current battle between Twitter (X) and Brazil. Brazil's courts have ruled that lying is not allowed in the public media and they demanded that all social media companies cleanse their site of all lies. Everyone platform capitulated to Brazil's request but Musk and so X is banned in Brazil. There is no discussion about who decides what a lie is but many people on X were criticizing the government and that may have something to do with the action taken.
