The Supreme Court in Brazil has lifted the ban on the platform X, previously owned by Elon Musk, after the company paid a substantial fine and appointed a legal representative. The ban, which lasted five weeks, had significant implications for 22 million users who were denied access.

Judge Alexandre de Moraes confirmed that the necessary conditions for resuming operations had been met, particularly following concerns raised about the platform's handling of misinformation and hate speech. Musk initially resisted the ban, citing threats of arrest over censorship orders, but the court's decision now allows X to operate within the parameters of Brazilian law.

This resolution is vital not only for social media users but also for Brazil's burgeoning crypto community, which faced disruptions during the ban. X has expressed pride in its return and reaffirmed its commitment to defending free speech while adhering to legal standards.
