Social Media Firms Accountable for Posts, Brazil Judges Conclude

 


Brazil’s Supreme Court formed a majority in favor of further regulating social media companies, the latest effort by authorities to hold tech giants accountable for illegal content posted on their platforms.

Justice Gilmar Mendes on Wednesday evening became the sixth of the court’s 11 judges to vote that websites such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X should be responsible for taking down fake news and vitriolic content even before legal orders to do so, and can face sanctions if they don’t.
