Social media platform X will return to operation in the country within 24 hours, according to an Oct. 8 ruling by Brazilian Justice Alexandre de Moraes.
The platform had been blocked on Aug. 30 for failing to comply with Brazilian court orders related to an investigation into the spread of misinformation in the country.
“I hereby order the end of the suspension and authorize the immediate resumption of activities by X Brasil Internet Ltda. within the national territory. I also instruct Anatel (National Telecommunications Agency) to take the necessary steps to implement this measure, with a report to this Supreme Court within 24 (twenty-four) hours,” the Justice wrote in his translated ruling.
The payment of the fine was confirmed on Oct. 7 following unusual circumstances. On Oct. 4, the funds related to the penalties imposed by Justice Alexandre de Moraes for irregularities on the social network were mistakenly deposited into the wrong bank account. Last week, the proceeds paid by Musk’s satellite company, Starlink, were transferred to the correct account.
This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
