The Supreme Court of Brazil has overturned the ban on Platform X in the country, allowing this social media platform to resume normal operations in Brazil. This decision comes after the court issued a ruling last month, and X has agreed to pay the fines and appoint a local legal head.
X’s Global Government Affairs account posted a message welcoming back the platform to users in Brazil, where it has millions of accounts. They reaffirmed their support for freedom of communication within the legal framework in all countries where the company operates.
Previously, X had notified the court of paying a fine of 28.6 million reals or approximately 174.4 million baht, but the Brazilian court stated that the additional penalty was paid to the wrong bank account, prompting X to correct it promptly.
Analysts from Emarketer speculate that X decided to pay the fine to resume services in Brazil because it is a significant market for the platform.
