<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alliance Defending Freedom on Saturday filed a petition in support of X, formerly known as Twitter after a Brazilian judge ruled the social media platform should be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-rips-into-democrat-ag-for-appearing-to-celebrate-brazils-x-ban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned</a> in the country.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last week, Federal Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ruled that X should be banned in Brazil because the company did not comply with his order to appoint a legal representative for Brazil or suspend a number of accounts. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Musk has refused to comply with government demands, promising to protect the free speech of X users. People in Brazil who try to access X through other means, like a VPN, could face daily fines of nearly $9,000. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In response, the Alliance Defending Freedom filed a petition asking the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to intervene on behalf of X as it is blocked. The commission has jurisdiction over Brazil under the American Convention. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s concerning that governments across the Western legal tradition are starting to look at these companies as avenues to censor rather than benefits to humankind,&#8221; ADF SVP of Corporate Engagement Jeremy Tedesco told The Daily Wire on Tuesday. &#8220;You really can&#8217;t truly be free, you can’t live in a democracy, and you can’t enjoy freedom unless you have free speech as an underlying foundation of your society.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tedesco said that the situation in Brazil should concern all Americans because “the exact same impulse to censor exists in our own government.” </span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1724211156439000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2-L2DitSaIUj5wz8v0bgxx"><b>Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He pointed to the FBI recommending censorship of stories on Hunter Biden&#8217;s laptop, as well as the Biden administration’s efforts to censor information on COVID. Last week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg released a letter saying that the Biden-Harris administration repeatedly asked him to censor posts about COVID on his platforms. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tedesco praised Musk for “standing in the gap,” saying that he was helping to expose government efforts to use corporations to censor speech they didn’t like.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Every American should be concerned, and not just for themselves and their ideological outlook, for any American regardless of their beliefs if we end up in a place where the government feels like it can get away with that kind of jawboning and pressuring of private corporations to do their censorship bidding,” he said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The decision to suspend access to X was upheld on Monday by a panel of judges on the Brazilian Supreme Court. </span></p>
