grass? from where let's cross over to 5. you just size silver. she's a brazil studies professor and joins me from the capital. brazil. yeah. 5 year this is not just a legal battle. it's also gotten pretty nasty. you one must get one point even referring to the brazilian supreme court just as alexandra, jim wise, as darth vader. what does this battle really about as well? thanks for having me, david. first of all, i would say that this barrel is really about a 1000000000 there. who is the owner of a large social media company, refusing to follow basic orders from the bridge and introduce sherry. so it's, it's much more than, you know, a disagreement between the company and a justice system is it's, it's a, it's become a matter of advertising and sovereignty. and, and just walk us through a little bit of what this legal battle has been about. it started with the charges

of this information. it actually, it started because the x was bordered to remove some posts in to suspend some profiles that were engaged in a deluxe and campaign against some brazilian public officials, police officers were conducting an investigation about some wrong duties done by a former president both on i and x and mosque refused to, to comply with those orders because they, you know, basically have argue that, that they stand up for freedom of speech and that they don't see the points of banning any type of speech on social media. even if that kind of speech is threatening to add this safe to this case of the public official, no supreme court justice and to more i just went so far as to freeze the bank accounts of acts and star link. is that standard and,

and how necessary was that it's a quite severe measure of course. um, but the reason why he did that was because of musk and actually ex west fines for not complying with the previous borders. and after that must remove the, you know, all the representatives of the company from brazil. and so that basically the company stopped responding to the president of this sherry. and there was nobody to pay for the fines or to be responsible for that fines. so he orders the freezing of the, the assets of x, as well as star league when it comes to star link it's, it's a complicated question because it's a different legal entity than x. but star link is one of the investors of facts in technically, this is possible under proceeding law. there's a provision in prison and load it authorizes the disregarding of the legal entity

and the intro to share, to go after the owners of the company. if they understand that the company has become just a shell for illegal acts. now let's talk just briefly if you can about the reactions in brazil, we're actually seeing some protesters siding with you on mosque to that's correct. because the what the most has done is to make his platform a partisan platform. he has developed a very strong ties with a brazilian fire rides, with the supporters of former present valuables on agro, some of whom have been convicted for participation in an attempted cool. in january 8, uh, 2023. and so you know there's, there's, they're using this momentum. that's jennifer being generated by the clash between most and more guys to also pressure the chord for ease this and pressure parliament to give an amnesty to some of those people who are convicted into i guess we can

deal for the of the courts so that the want keep up with its investigations against both on the, in some military officers and bought the those events as well. professor fabio, just as so by thank you very much. thank you. they as well just last week, austria and switzerland were basking in 30 degrees celsius late summer sheets. but now winter has pushed autumn aside in austria's syria region. the surprised snowfall has caused traffic disruptions with authorities warning of slippery roads and snow chains being made compulsory in some areas. white blanket has also covered mountains and the south western swift outs making this the 1st snow of the season here in europe, the that you're all up to date. participants here on dw, i've next our environment show planet
