Brazil’s Supreme Court has lifted the ban on Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) after the platform was blocked over disinformation issues.

Judge Alexandre de Moraes authorized X’s return after the company paid $5.2 million in fines for failing to comply with court orders.

Brazil’s communications regulator was given 24 hours to restore access.

The platform, suspended in August over election-related disinformation and legal noncompliance, faced criticism from Moraes and President Lula for undermining democracy, Al-Jazeera has reported.

X, which had 22 million users in Brazil, has since complied with all demands to resume operations.
