Brazilian Court Freezes X's and Starlink's Assets, Seizes Millions From Over Law Breaches, Content Violations

Brazil's Supreme Court has ordered banks to transfer nearly $3 million from Starlink and X accounts to cover fines levied against Elon Musk's social media platform. The court found that X violated Brazilian law by failing to appoint a legal representative and refusing to remove harmful content. The court froze X's and Starlink's accounts but released them after the funds were transferred. X's suspension in the country, imposed at the end of August, remains in effect. Musk has called the court’s actions illegal, while Brazilian authorities view the orders as asserting sovereignty.
