The defense of the social network X informed this Friday (21) to the Supreme Federal Court (STF) that will make the payment of the fine of R $ 8.1 million applied by Minister Alexandre de Moraes.
In the document sent to the minister, the lawyers stated that for the payment of the payment is necessary to unlock R $ 7.2 million that are deposited in account of Banco do Brasil. According to X, with the release of the amount, the remaining amount of 817,800 will be paid by the company, and the debt balance will be paid.
“Considering that the amount of R $ 7,282,135.14 remains blocked, X Brasil respectfully requires the immediate transfer of such an amount to its bank account, so that it can enable the payment of the fine imposed in these records, with the consequent deposit only of the remaining balance, “the defense requested.
Moraes determined on Thursday (20) the payment of the fine in the process in which the social network is accused of leaving the profile of blogger Allan dos Santos after the disclosure of false conversations attributed to a journalist.
The account was suspended, but the registration data of the profile was not sent to the Supreme Court because the X reported that it does not keep the data. The company appealed the decision, but the appeals were rejected by the minister.
Moraes’s decision occurs when the President’s Media Group of the United States, Donald Trump, and the Rumble Social Network, which was suspended in BrazilThey resort to the US court to accuse the minister of “censoring” platforms and suspending user accounts.
