Brazil Lifts Ban on Social Media Platform X

Brazil's Supreme Court has lifted a ban on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. The decision comes after the platform paid hefty fines and blocked accounts accused of spreading misinformation.

Musk's Resistance and Compliance

The ban was initially imposed by Justice Alexandre de Moraes after X refused to ban several profiles deemed by the government to be spreading misinformation about the 2022 Brazilian Presidential election. Elon Musk, the platform's owner, had described the ban as an abuse of power and a violation of free speech.

However, in September, X began to comply with the court's orders, appointing a local representative and paying fines totaling 28 million reais ($5.1m; £3.8m).

Return to Brazil

On Tuesday, X announced its return to Brazil, stating that it was proud to return to Brazil. The platform's government affairs team emphasized the importance of providing access to its platform for tens of millions of Brazilians.

Impact on Users

During the ban, many users switched to alternative sites such as Bluesky, and demand for VPNs (Virtual Proxy Networks) in Brazil soared. However, with the ban lifted, users can now access X without restrictions.
