Brazilian authorities are considering lifting the ban on the X platform, owned by Elon Musk, after the company paid a fine of 28.6 million reais.
Reasons for the Ban on Elon Musk's X Platform
In late August, Brazil's Supreme Federal Court suspended the X platform for failing to comply with court orders in an investigation into the spread of misinformation in the country.
Fine Payment and Related Events
According to local media, on October 7, X fulfilled the latest requirement for its return online. On October 4, funds related to the penalties were mistakenly deposited into the wrong bank account. Later, payment by Musk's satellite company, Starlink, was transferred to the correct account.
Next Steps and Potential Consequences
The platform's return to Brazil now depends on the Attorney General's recommendation. If approved, Justice Moraes will review the case once more.
The legal proceedings regarding X continue, and their outcome will determine the company’s future operations in the country.
