JAKARTA - Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, must pay an additional fine of US$1.9 million (Rp 7 billion) if he wants to resume operations in Brazil.

Reporting from TechCrunch on Saturday, September 28, Brazilian Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes issued an order allowing platform X to resume operations as long as it pays a fine of US$ 1.9 million. This fine is an addition to the previous US$ 3.4 million (IDR 12.4 billion) fine that has been imposed on X.

This year, X was involved in a legal dispute in Brazil following Brazil's efforts to block certain accounts accused of spreading false information regarding elections. In the end, X stopped its services in Brazil and was banned from operations in the country since late August.

The ban has made competing platforms, Bluesky, even more popular.

X recently changed his attitude by willing to block designated accounts, pay fines, and appoint legal representatives in Brazil.

In a post on the Global Government Affairs X account recently, X respects the sovereignty of the countries where they operate and adds access for users in Brazil for the development of democracy.
