Brazil Supreme Court panel unanimously upholds judge’s decision to block X nationwideBy DAVID BILLERAssociated PressThe Associated PressRIO DE JANEIRO
The panel that voted in a virtual session was comprised of five of the full bench’s 11 justices, including de Moraes, who last Friday ordered the platform blocked for having failed to name a local legal representative as required by law. De Moraes also set a daily fine of 50,000 reais for people or companies using virtual private networks, or VPNs, to access X. Some legal experts questioned the grounds for that decision and how it would be enforced, including Brazil’s bar association, which said it would request the Supreme Court to review that provision.
De Moraes’ decision to quickly remit his order for panel approval served to obtain “collective, more institutional support that attempts to depersonalize the decision,” Conrado Hübner, a professor of constitutional law at the University of Sao Paulo, told The Associated Press.
