Musk’s X to face $900,000 daily fine in Brazil as top court orders it to respect ban
Brazil’s top court on Thursday said social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, would be hit with a daily fine of over $900,000 if it does not comply with a ban the court imposed last month. Access to the platform returned for many Brazilian users on Wednesday after a software update bypassed the block. The update utilised third-party cloud services, including Cloudflare, allowing users to access X without a VPN by routing traffic outside the country, according to Brazil's Internet and Telecommunications Providers Association.
