Brazil judge says will lift Musk's X ban if $1.8 million fine paid

The Hindu  

A Brazilian judge locked in a legal row with X owner Elon Musk on Friday said he would reinstate the social network in Brazil if a fine of around $1.8 million was paid. Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes last month ordered X to be shut down in Brazil, after Musk refused to remove dozens of right-wing accounts and then failed to name a new legal representative in the country as ordered. High-profile judge Moraes has been engaged in a long feud with Tesla and SpaceX owner Musk as part of his drive to crack down on disinformation in Brazil. The company has in the last week started complying with the Brazilian court's conditions to get reactivated, such as appointing a legal representative in the country.
