“The platform of the tycoon Elon Musk must immediately suspend the use of its new accesses (…) or accept a penalty of a daily fine of 5 million reais (approximately $913,000),” stated the court order by Judge Alexandre de Moraes.
Let’s remember that a couple of days ago, users in Brazil again had access to X After a series of updates and modifications on the platform to circumvent the government-imposed blockade, allowing one of its largest markets to regain connectivity.
The suspension of X, which came into effect on August 30 by order of the Supreme Federal Court (STF)was due to accusations of failing to control disinformation and disobeying court orders, following a request to suspend some user accounts that allegedly promoted hate and far-right speech.
