Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has fined social media platform X, owned by Elon Musk, 8.1 million reais ($1.42 million) for failing to comply with judicial orders. The ruling, made public on Thursday, follows a legal case from 2023 where the court had instructed X to remove a profile spreading misinformation and provide the user's registration data.

X's failure to meet these demands resulted in a daily fine of 100,000 reais, and the company's local legal representative faced potential criminal liability. The court order required the immediate payment of the fine, citing the platform's noncompliance. X's legal team in Brazil has not commented on the matter.

In 2024, X faced a month-long suspension in Brazil for not adhering to court orders related to hate speech moderation and for failing to designate a legal representative in the country, as mandated by law.
