Why would you assume that I intentionally and delibrately lied | misrepresented this?
What I did do was quote EuroNews who reported (as was linked on HN yesterday) that:
Brazil's Supreme Court voted unanimously on Monday to uphold the decision by one of its justices to ban Elon Musk’s social media platform, X. [1]
You are correct that it was (as is common in many countries) a sub-panel of justices .. who all voted unanimously with no dissent opinions.
The panel that voted in a virtual session was comprised of five of the full bench's 11 justices, including de Moraes, who last Friday ordered the platform blocked for refusing to name a local legal representative, as required by law [2]
Regardless, the point made stands - describing the initial ban as the action of a single rogue justice no longer holds water.
