The Supreme Court of Brazil has lifted the ban on the social network X (formerly Twitter). Judge Alexandre de Moraes authorized the "immediate resumption" of the platform's operation after fines were paid and accounts spreading disinformation were blocked.
The platform paid fines amounting to 28 million reais ($5.1 million) and agreed to appoint a local representative, as required by Brazilian law.
Earlier, Moraes blocked access to X as the company refused to block profiles spreading false information about the 2022 presidential election.
The agency Anatel was instructed to restore the platform’s services for 20 million users within 24 hours.
