The Supreme Federal Court is Brazil’s highest court and has the authority to issue orders affecting internet platforms and social media services operating in the country.

In recent years, justices of the court have issued orders requiring platforms to remove accounts, restrict content, or comply with legal investigations related to misinformation, illegal activities, or threats to democratic institutions. In some cases, courts have also ordered internet service providers to block access to specific platforms if they fail to comply with judicial decisions.

This market asks whether any justice of the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) will order the blocking or suspension of a social media platform in Brazil before the specified deadline.

This market resolves YES if:

• Any justice of the Supreme Federal Court issues a judicial order that blocks or requires ISPs to block access to a social media platform in Brazil.

This market resolves NO if:

• No such order is issued before the deadline.

Resolution will rely on official court decisions or reporting from major news outlets.
