Social media platform ‘X’ to resume operations in Brazil after court lifts suspension

Brazil’s Supreme Court has authorised the social media platform X to resume operations in the country after being banned for over a month due to non-compliance with court rulings.

Judge Alexandre de Moraes lifted the ban on Tuesday after X paid approximately 28.6 million reals (around $5.17 million) in fines to the Brazilian government,



Xinhua news agency reported, citing local media.

“I hereby declare the suspension lifted and authorize the immediate resumption of X Brasil Internet Ltd.’s activities within the national territory. I also order the National Telecommunications Agency to implement this decision and report back to this Supreme Court within 24 hours,” Moraes ruled.
