The bank accounts of Starlink and social network X, owned by Elon Musk, were unblocked in Brazil after paying a fine of 18.35 million reais; that is, about $3.3 million.
The fine that Musk has had to pay stems from the litigation for the social network’s failure to comply with the order issued by Judge Alexandre de Moraes to block accounts in the country that, according to the authority, promoted disinformation and spread hate messages.
However, the Bar Association challenged the decision of the Supreme Court. The Brazilian Attorney General’s Office argued on September 12 that the ban on social network X in Brazil does not violate the right to freedom of expression.
The PGR also declared that the lawsuits against the ban on X in Brazil lack legal grounds, so the suspension remains in place in the country.
