Elon Musk‘s X is facing a new fine to end the social media platform’s ban in Brazil after the platform was suspended in the country in late August.

The Brazilian Supreme Court said on Friday that the tech company must pay over $5 million in fines before the platform’s services can resume in the country. This includes a new, roughly $1.8 million fine that was imposed because X became available to Brazilian users for a short time last week after a new update to the platform appeared to circumvent the ban. At the time, X claimed the temporary restoration was “an inadvertent and temporary service restoration.”

According to Reuters, a person close to X said the company will likely pay all the fines but may challenge the new fine that was added on.

In August, Brazilian Supreme Court Chief Justice Alexandre de Moraes demanded that X name a legal representative in the country and block accounts the court deemed to be engaging in hate speech. The company initially refused, saying its previous legal representative was threatened with imprisonment and that Moraes’s demand to block accounts went against Brazilian law.

When Moraes threatened arrests if the company didn’t block the accounts ordered, Musk closed X’s Brazil office. Since the country’s 2022 elections, Moraes has the power to order social media accounts he deems a threat to democracy to be blocked and has often wielded that power.

In the Friday ruling, Moraes said X proved it blocked the accounts that were ordered by the court and named a legal representative.

Brazil’s most used apps are Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, but the country ranks fourth in the world in X downloads at 25 million.
