Exhibit 1129 ยท Case summary
The Case of the X Ban in Brazil (Columbia Global Freedom of Expression case page)
Despite our numerous appeals to the Supreme Court not being heard, the Brazilian public not being informed about these orders and our Brazilian staff having no responsibility or control over whether content is blocked on our platform, Moraes has chosen to threaten our staff in Brazil rather than respect the law or due process.
Case summary of the STF proceedings of 7 August to 9 October 2024. It quotes a post by X's Global Government Affairs account (the page places Musk's statement on 17 August 2024) saying X would close its Brazil operation because of 'demands' by Justice Moraes, and records the 18 August asset freeze, the 28 August notice to Elon Musk, the 30 August suspension, X's compliance on 18 September and the authorization to resume on 9 October 2024 after payment of BRL 28,600,000 in fines. Links the STF decisions of 30 August, 18 September, 27 September, 1 October and 8 October 2024.
