Brazil's Supreme Court Enforces Ban on X
News summary

Elon Musk's social media platform X briefly regained access for Brazilian users after switching to Cloudflare's network, inadvertently circumventing a Supreme Court ban imposed due to misinformation concerns. The Brazilian Supreme Court, led by Justice Alexandre de Moraes, had ordered all telecom providers to block X, resulting in significant fines for non-compliance. Despite the temporary restoration, the platform is expected to become inaccessible again as the court has issued a daily fine of approximately $921,726 for failing to comply. The update complicates enforcement of the ban since it uses dynamic IP addresses shared with legitimate services, making widespread blocking difficult. This legal clash has sparked discussions about free speech, with former President Jair Bolsonaro voicing support for Musk amidst the controversy. Brazilian authorities are currently investigating the implications of X's network changes while the judiciary remains firm on its suspension order.
