Brazil lifts ban on Musk's X after it pays $5m fine


Brazil's Supreme Court has said it is lifting a ban on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

In his decision, Justice Alexandre de Moraes said that he authorised the "immediate return" of X's activities in the country after it paid hefty fines and blocked accounts accused of spreading misinformation.

According to a statement, the site has paid fines totalling 28 million reais ($5.1m; £3.8m) and agreed to appoint a local representative, as required by Brazilian law.
