Brazil’s court has given a big blow to billionaire businessman Elon Musk. The Supreme Court of Brazil has unanimously upheld the decision of a single judge bench to ban the social media platform X in the country. This information has been shared by the court’s website. Let’s know about this whole matter.
Elon Musk targeting Judge de Moraes
The Supreme Court heard the case of banning X in Brazil online. During this, the bench voting on the decision included five out of 11 judges of the full bench. These included Judge de Moraes. In fact, businessman Elon Musk and his supporters were presenting Judge Alexander de Moraes as a person who is intent on censoring political speech in Brazil.
Why is the ban imposed?
Judge Moraes last Friday ordered X to be blocked in Brazil for refusing to name a local legal representative. According to the information, now X will remain banned until it complies with the court orders and pays the outstanding fine. The amount of outstanding fine is more than 3 million US dollars.
What has the court said?
Last week, Judge de Moraes said in his decision that Elon Musk has shown his complete disrespect for Brazil’s sovereignty and especially the judiciary. The judge has said that Elon Musk has established himself as a true supranational entity.
