Brazil Supreme Court Fines X, Orders Rumble to Appoint Legal Rep

Brazil Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes slapped X with a new fine while ordering another social media company that sued him in the US to appoint a legal representative in the South American nation.

Moraes, who last year suspended access to X in Brazil over hate speech and fake news, ordered Elon Musk’s social media platform to pay a 8.1 million reais ($1.4 million) fine for not providing registration information of a Brazilian conservative YouTuber who allegedly committed crimes including making threats against supreme court justices on social media.
