Brazil’s Supreme Court upholds ban on Elon Musk’s X unanimously

Brazil’s Supreme Court has unanimously upheld a ban on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, which was initially imposed by Justice Alexandre de Moraes last week. The ban was enacted after X missed a court-imposed deadline to designate a legal representative in Brazil, as per Assoon September 3

On Monday, all five Supreme Court justices reviewed and confirmed the ban. Justice Flavio Dino, along with Justice Cristiano Zanin, emphasized that companies operating in a country must adhere to local laws, and a failure to comply with court decisions undermines the rule of law. Justices Carmen Lucia and Luiz Fux also supported the ruling, making it a unanimous decision.
