Brazil lifts ban on X as Elon Musk meets court requirements

theguardian.com

Brazil has lifted a ban on the social platform X, previously blocked for nearly six weeks. The ban was imposed after Elon Musk failed to name a local representative and pay fines, amid concerns over misinformation. Musk has now complied with Brazilian laws by paying 28.6 million reais in fines and appointing a local lawyer. A supreme court judge announced the end of the suspension, allowing X to resume operations in Brazil. While X remains temporarily inaccessible, it is expected to be available soon. Many Brazilians had shifted to other platforms during the ban, and commentators view the situation as a reinforcement of the rule of law in Brazil.
