After court order, X goes offline again in Brazil

Author: AFP

Elon Musk’s X social media platform went back offline in Brazil Thursday, a day after it resumed service in contravention of a judicial ban, internet providers said. Brazil’s Supreme Court had earlier in the day ordered X to suspend access to the platform, finding the company had “unlawfully, persistently and intentionally” flouted judicial rulings and would risk a daily fine of more than $900,000 for non-compliance. The former Twitter was banned last month in Latin America’s largest nation, but access to the phone app returned Wednesday in what the government slammed as a deliberate violation of the suspension. X said the return of its service was “inadvertent and temporary.”
