This fine is on tOP of the 18.3 million reais ($3.4 million) that X had already been fined for allegedly spreading election misinformation.
The fine is a result of X's failure to comply with the court's previous orders. Brazil had previously frozen accounts belonging to X and its satellite Internet company Starlink to pay the fine, but to move forward, Moraes stated that Starlink needs to drop its appeal against the payments. X had been locked in a legal battle with Moraes over his attempt to block certain accounts that he accused of posting election misinformation.
