São Paulo., Elon Musk-owned social media platform
X has been suspended since the end of August in Brazil, one of its greatest and most coveted markets, after breaching judicial orders related to the moderation of hate discourse and not appointing a legal representative, as required by law in the South American nation.
After backtracking and deciding to obey orders in recent weeks, including blocking some investigated accounts, the company initially asked the court on September 26 to allow it to resume service in Brazil. But Judge Alexandre de Moraes then ruled that the platform still had to pay just over $5 million in outstanding fines before the suspension was lifted.
The payments, for a total of 28.6 million reais (5.24 million dollars), have already been made and are “duly proven,” according to the document presented by X’s lawyers. “X Brazil requests that the platform be unblocked for the free access of its users in national territory.”
