Brazil's Supreme Court has upheld Justice Alexandre de Moraes' decision to shut down social media platform X, following the platform's non-compliance with local norms.

The unanimous decision by the five-member panel, including Justices Flavio Dino, Cristiano Zanin, Carmen Lucia, and Luiz Fux, signals a strong stance on regulatory compliance.

The platform was taken down in Brazil after it failed to meet a court-imposed deadline to name a legal representative. The suspension could be reversed if X meets the required legal standards.
