Brazil Fines Elon Musk's X $1.8 Million for Ban Violation

Brazil's Supreme Court imposes additional fines on X for briefly resuming service after a ban over misinformation concerns.

X, formerly known as Twitter, was fined 10 million Brazilian reais ($1.8 million) for a brief period of non-compliance with a court-ordered ban.
The platform was initially blocked in Brazil in August for refusing to shut down accounts accused of spreading misinformation.
X attributed the temporary service restoration to a network provider switch, which it described as inadvertent.
The court also fined X's legal representative in Brazil, Rachel de Oliveira Villa, 300,000 reais ($55,284) for previous non-compliance.
The total outstanding fines amount to $5.2 million, which must be paid before X can resume full operations in Brazil.
