Big news in the tech world! Brazil’s Supreme Court has lifted the ban on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X

Big news in the tech world! Brazil’s Supreme Court has lifted the ban on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), after the company complied with court orders and paid millions in fines ¹. The platform had been blocked for over a month in Brazil, its largest Latin American market, due to a dispute over disinformation.

The controversy started when Judge Alexandre de Moraes accused X of allowing false information to spread during Brazil’s 2022 election campaign. Musk initially pushed back, calling Moraes an “evil dictator,” but ultimately caved in to the judge’s demands ¹. X removed dozens of right-wing accounts spreading false info and appointed a new legal representative in Brazil.

The ban’s removal is a significant win for X, which relies heavily on the Brazilian market. With over 20-40 million users in Brazil, this move will likely boost the platform’s revenue ¹. However, some experts question whether X’s compliance will lead to long-term changes in how the platform operates in Brazil.
