Brazil's Supreme Court has enforced a collection of $3.3 million in fines from X and Starlink, companies controlled by Elon Musk, amid a dispute over censorship.
In a bid to uphold its orders against X, the Supreme Court directed local banks to deduct fines from the accounts of X and Starlink, resolving an unusual legal standoff.
Justice Moraes asserted that Starlink could bear responsibility for the fines levied against X, which raised eyebrows among legal experts regarding the legality of this interpretation.
Elon Musk labeled the freezing of Starlink's assets as 'absolutely illegal', highlighting the tensions surrounding censorship and legal accountability in the ongoing dispute with Brazilian authorities.
