Published On Sep 18, 2024, 4:14 PM
Elon Musk's social media platform, X, has managed to restore its services for many users in Brazil after being blocked by the Supreme Court for failing to comply with content removal orders. This resurgence followed a technical maneuver that allowed X to bypass the digital blockades. Brazilian authorities are currently assessing the potential for reinstating the block. This event marks an ongoing struggle between Musk's initiatives and national regulatory frameworks.
