Brazil's Supreme Court votes to uphold X suspension
Sep 2, 2024 9:19 AM

BRASILIA, Sept 2 (Reuters) -

A five-member panel of Brazil's Supreme Court voted

unanimously on Monday 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.
