X Is Back in Brazil
WiredOCT 20 2024
Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, is seeking to restore service in Brazil after paying large fines and blocking users accused of disseminating disinformation.
After the X paid fines totaling 28M reais ($5.1M) and agreed to appoint a local representative as per Brazilian law, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes approved the "immediate return" of X's operations in the country.
Brazil's telecommunications regulator, Anatel, has been instructed to reinstate service for more than 20M users within 24 hours.
