Brazil court unblocks X's bank accounts after $5 million fine agreement

economictimes.indiatimes.com

A Brazilian judge has ordered the unblocking of Elon Musk's X bank accounts after the platform agreed to pay over $5 million in fines. This decision allows X to resume operations in Brazil, where it has been banned since August 31. The judge's ruling follows a standoff over disinformation, which led to X's suspension. Musk had previously refused to remove certain accounts and failed to appoint a legal representative in Brazil, prompting the shutdown. With the fines now accepted, X can make payments and potentially lift the ban. The platform had over 22 million users in Brazil before the suspension.
