X users in Brazil gain access despite ongoing ban
Some Brazilian users of X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, were able to log back in on Wednesday, despite an ongoing ban issued by the country’s judiciary last month.
The unexpected access came after X made changes to how its servers are accessed within Brazil, sparking a wave of activity from users eager to return to the platform.
In a statement released Wednesday evening, a spokesperson for X confirmed that the platform’s restoration in Brazil was unintentional.
“To continue providing optimal service to our users, we changed network providers. This change resulted in an inadvertent and temporary service restoration to Brazilian users.”
“While we expect the platform to be inaccessible again in Brazil soon, we continue efforts to work with the Brazilian government to return very soon for the people of Brazil,” an X spokesperson said in a statement.
