Moraes Lifts Social-Media Blocks on Carla Zambelli, Sets R$20,000 Daily Fine for Repeat Violations

The ruling shifts from blanket bans to targeted deletion orders backed by daily fines to curb repeat violations.

Overview

  • The revocation applies to Gettr, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, Telegram and YouTube, with the platforms’ lawyers formally notified.
  • Only the specific illicit posts that prompted the original order must be removed, replacing earlier blanket suspensions.
  • Any recurrence of analogous disinformation or hate speech carries a R$20,000 per day penalty for each profile, channel or account.
  • Zambelli remains detained in Rome’s Rebibbia prison awaiting a decision on Brazil’s extradition request after her July arrest on an Interpol notice.
  • The measures follow her STF conviction over CNJ system breaches, while the Chamber’s CCJ reviews a loss-of-mandate process after her remote testimony alleging persecution and health problems.
