Brazil’s top court threatens X with hefty fine for bypassing ban

Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered Elon Musk-owned X not to circumvent a previous ruling suspending the social media platform in the country, at risk of a daily fine of 5 million reais ($921,726.95), according to a decision issued late on Wednesday.

X became accessible to many users in Brazil on Wednesday after an update to its communications network bypassed the court-ordered block. A 5-million-real fine has already been imposed because of that action, according to the decision.
