Despite the nationwide ban imposed by the Supreme Court, some Brazilian users managed to reconnect with X on Wednesday. This unexpected reunion was made possible by X apparently altering the way its servers are accessed. However, the resumption of access may be short-lived.
Justice Alexandre de Moraes had ordered the nationwide block of X on August 30 following a series of disputes with billionaire Elon Musk over account takedowns and free speech boundaries in Brazil. He also imposed fines on individuals using virtual private networks (VPN) to access the platform.
