Brazil’s Supreme Court has unanimously upheld a ban on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, after it failed to appoint a legal representative in the country. The court’s decision follows Justice Alexandre de Moraes’s initial ruling, emphasizing that companies must adhere to local laws. Musk has criticized the ban as censorship, while Brazil’s President Lula da Silva supports the ruling, which impacts one of X’s largest markets with 40 million users. The ban remains until X complies with the court’s demands, facing fines exceeding USD 3 million.
