SAO PAULO/BRASILIA (Reuters) – The Brazilian Supreme Court said on Friday that social media platform X needs to pay just over $5 million in outstanding fines in order to resume its service in the country, according to a court document.
Earlier this week, the Elon Musk-owned social platform informed the court that it had complied with orders to stop the spread of misinformation and asked it to lift the ban on the platform.
Judge Alexandre de Moraes responded by ruling that X and its legal representative in Brazil must still agree to pay a total of 18.3 million reais ($3.4 million) in outstanding fines previously ordered by the court.
The judge also asked for a fine of 10 million reais ($1.8 million) related to a short period of time last week when X became available again to some users in Brazil.
