Earlier this year, Moraes ordered X to block certain accounts, as he investigates so-called "digital militias" that have been accused of spreading fake news and hate messages during the government of far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro.

That sounds very "on brand" for the company these days.

Should journalists start referring to the platform as "the far-right hate speech platform formerly known as Twitter"?
