X to be restored in Brazil in 24 hours, rules Justice Alexandre de Moraes

The ruling came after the social media platform settled a roughly $5.5 million fine in the South American country.

Social media platform X will return to operation in Brazil within 24 hours, according to an Oct. 8 ruling by Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

The platform was 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.

Brazil to review Elon Musk’s X ban after $5M fine payment

Social media platform X could soon be restored in Brazil after paying fines, appointing a new legal representative and blocking certain user accounts at the court’s request.

Brazilian authorities could soon lift the ban on Elon Musk’s social media platform X after the company paid 28.6 million Brazilian reais (approximately $5.5 million) in fines.

According to local media reports, on Oct. 7 X cleared the latest requirement on its path to returning online. In late August, Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court suspended X for failing to comply with orders related to an investigation into the spread of misinformation in the country.

The final payment was confirmed after a series of unusual events. 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 Monday, the proceeds paid by Musk’s satellite company, Starlink, were transferred to the correct account.
