Earlier, the platform was blocked after X failed to comply with court orders to moderate hostile statements and did not name a legal representative in the country, as required by law.

Later, when Musk's social network decided to obey the orders of recent weeks, including blocking some accounts, the company asked the court to allow it to resume operations in Brazil.

Nevertheless, a superior court judge  ruled that the platform still needs to pay just over $5 million in fines before the platform can be restored. 

At present, X has paid a fine of 28.6 million reais ($5.24 million) and once again appealed to the court to overturn the ban on the social network in Brazil.
