Brazil’s Supreme Court announced on Sept. 27 that Elon Musk-owned social media platform X must pay an additional $1.8 million fine, along with $3.4 million in existing penalties, before it can resume operations in the country.
The ruling, signed by Judge Alexandre de Moraes and announced by the Brazil Supreme Court in a statement on Sept. 27, was issued after X briefly became accessible in Brazil on Sept. 19 and 23, despite a court-ordered ban. The court viewed the platform’s temporary reactivation, which involved migrating services through new servers, as an attempt to circumvent the suspension.
