Brazil's Supreme Court chamber forms majority to uphold nationwide X ban

Brazil's Supreme Court upheld Justice Alexandre de Moraes' decision to suspend social media platform X for non-compliance with local laws. Justices Flavio Dino and Cristiano Zanin supported Moraes, forming a majority, while Justices Luiz Fux and Carmen Lucia had yet to vote.

X was taken down after missing a deadline to appoint a legal representative in Brazil. Moraes and owner Elon Musk have clashed over blocking accounts linked to misinformation and hate speech.
