Despite the companys recent decision to abide by the demands of the Brazilian Supreme Court, X still isnt back online in Brazil and according to Reuters, thats at least in part because it paid its fines to the wrong bank. After weeks being banned in Brazil, X in late September named a legal representative for the country as ordered, and took down accounts the court accused of spreading misinformation and hate speech. Its final hurdle was to pay off the fines that it had racked up, reportedly amounting to roughly $5 million.
Citing Friday court filings, Reuters reports that X says its paid the fines and requested to have services restored. But, Justice Alexandre de Moraes said the funds went to the wrong bank, and the decision will have to wait until theyve been transferred. X maintains that it paid its fines correctly, according to Reuters. X has been banned in Brazil since the end of August. While the company initially resisted the courts orders, it recently changed its tune and said it was working with the Brazilian government to get the platform back online in the country.
