X can be 'immediately' unblocked in Brazil after it pays a $1.9 million fine
Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has ordered X to pay a fine worth 10 million Reais, or around $1.9 million. The company can "immediately return to its activities" after it settles the penalty.
Moraes added that the company's return "depends solely on the full compliance with Brazilian legislation and the absolute observance of the court orders in respect of national sovereignty." In response, Moraes ordered the nation's internet providers to block the social media platform and to issue a new rule that anybody found to be accessing X through a VPN could face a daily fine of 50,000 Reais ($8,900). The website also removed the accounts the judge named in its initial directives and which he had identified as a threat to democracy, showing that it's now willing to comply with the court's orders.
