In an escalating legal battle, Brazil has begun imposing fines of nearly $1 million per day on Elon Musk's social media platform X for allegedly circumventing a court-ordered ban. The Brazilian Supreme Court has accused X of willfully defying the ban by modifying server access, temporarily restoring the service for some users. This act of defiance has prompted accusations from Brazil's top judge that Musk's tactics represent a serious threat to democracy in the country. Meanwhile, the U.S. White House has condemned Brazil's actions as a free speech violation. Amid these tensions, Musk's companies, including Starlink, have faced financial repercussions, with significant fines and the temporary unfreezing of bank accounts following compliance payments. The situation reflects broader concerns over internet censorship and the implications of corporate governance in digital spaces within Latin America.
