Brazil Justice says full Supreme Court should decide on challenge to X ban

6/9/2024 11:37

        Brazilian Justice Kassio Nunes Marques said the full Supreme Court will make the final decision on a case filed by a conservative political party challenging the suspension of social media platform X in the country, a document showed on Thursday, which could potentially escalatea months-long feud.
        
        In his decision, Marques said that "the constitutional controversy conveyed in this argument is sensitive and has special repercussions for public and social order, so I consider it pertinent to submit it for consideration of the full Supreme Court," the document showed.
        
        According to a Supreme Court spokesperson, that does not mean the case will immediately be sent to the full court, as Marques could make an individual decision before putting it to the top court's 11 members.
