In addition, the Supreme Federal Court (STF) is examining information about access to X by some users. “Apparently it is just an irregularity in the blocking of some networks,” the court said.

Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes ordered the banning of the network owned by Elon Musk on August 30, accusing it of failing to comply with court orders to suspend accounts accused of information and denial to name a legal representative in Brazil.

By blocking the network, Moraes warned to the 22 million users of the platform in Brazil that anyone who violates the order by accessing the platform through “subterfuges” such as virtual private networks (VPN) is exposed to daily fines of 50,000 reaisequivalent to about 9,000 dollars.

“Judge Alexandre de Moraes: I didn’t use a VPN to access here, I just opened the app in a daily abstinence ritual and it worked,” wrote a user on X this Wednesday. “I don’t have 50,000 (real) to pay for that joke”.

For another user X, the sudden access to the application can only be explained by the fact that the judge “must be on vacation in the mountains.”

For its part, the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) told AFP that it was investigating “reported cases” and deny any “change of mind” about the blockade.

The court order to suspend the platform has sparked a debate about freedom of expression and the limits of social networks inside and outside the South American country.

Moraes has been involved in a fight in recent months with Musk, who accused the judge of being an “evil killer”.

The decision was praised by the left led by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and criticized by the right-wing opposition, led by former president Jair Bolsonaro.
