BRASILIA, (Reuters) – A five-member panel of Brazil’s Supreme Court voted unanimously today to uphold Justice Alexandre de Moraes’ ruling to shut down social media giant X in the country for not complying with local norms.
Justices Flavio Dino, Cristiano Zanin, Carmen Lucia and Luiz Fux sided with Moraes, with some of them saying however that the suspension could be reversed if the platform complies with previous court rulings.
X was taken down in Brazil, one of its largest markets, in the early hours of Saturday following a decision by Moraes, after the platform missed a court-imposed deadline to name a legal representative in Brazil as required by local law.
