Brazilian Court Lifts Block on BRB Acquisition of Banco Master

Bloomberg10-05-2025

A Brazilian judge revoked a court decision that blocked the planned sale of Banco Master SA to BRB SA because of an alleged failure by the banks to comply with legal requirements for an acquisition.
Federal District Judge João Egmont Leoncio Lopes ruled that there is 'no real urgency or risk of irreparable damage' to justify the decision that suspended the deal earlier this week. Lopes added that the transaction depends on prior approval from regulatory bodies.

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.

Brazil's Supreme Court justices agree to make social media companies liable for user content

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — The majority of justices on Brazil's Supreme Court have agreed to make social media companies liable for illegal postings by their users. Gilmar Mendes on Wednesday became the sixth of the court's 11 justices to vote to open a path for companies like Meta, X and Microsoft to be sued and pay fines for content published by their users. Voting is ongoing but a simple majority is all that is needed for the measure to pass. The ruling will come after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned of possible visa restrictions against foreign officials allegedly involved in censoring American citizens. The only dissenting Brazilian justice so far is André Mendonça and his vote was made public last week. The social media proposal would become law once voting is finished and the result is published. But Brazil's Congress could still pass another law to reverse the measure. The current legislation states social media companies can only be held responsible in those cases if they do not remove hazardous content after a court order.
