Brazil Bans X, Imposes $9,000 Daily Fines for VPN Use
Aug 30, 2024, 08:48 PM
Brazil's Supreme Court, led by Justice Alexandre de Moraes, has issued a ruling to ban the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, across the country. The decision mandates that the platform be inaccessible to Brazilian users within 24 hours, and requires app stores to remove the app within five days. Additionally, the court has imposed significant fines on individuals who attempt to access the platform using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), with penalties reaching up to $9,000 per day. This move has sparked discussions about potential implications for digital freedom and government control in Brazil.
