Brazil Supreme Court Backs Suspension of Elon Musk\u2019s X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A Brazilian Supreme Court panel has upheld the decision of one of its justices to suspend the operations of social media platform X in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A panel of five Supreme Court justices unanimously upheld Justice Alexandre de Moraes' August 30 ruling suspending X in Brazil in a unanimous decision on Sept. 2. X proprietor Elon Musk's refusal to designate a legal representative for the company's operations in Brazil<\/a> was the catalyst for Moraes' decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musk vigorously criticized the Supreme Court judge on X in the months preceding Moraes' decision, asserting that he was a “dictator” and “evil” for his purported “illegal political censorship” of the social media platform. The X owner's response to the court ruling is uncertain in light of the fact that four additional justices have concurred with Moraes' decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moraes had been conducting an investigation into X for its involvement in the dissemination of misinformation concerning former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many companies have discontinued advertising following allegations that pro-Nazi content was displayed alongside their advertisements following Musk's acquisition of the company, which was subsequently rebranded as Twitter, in October 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

X will be suspended in Brazil until the company pays outstanding penalties totaling over $3 million as of Aug. 30, as per Moraes' decision. Additionally, Brazilian residents and organizations that employ virtual private networks (VPNs)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> to access the website may incur penalties of up to 50,000 reais, which is equivalent to approximately $8,900.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
