The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) sent notifications to operators and internet providers on Wednesday night (18) ordering a new block of X.
. It was possible, for example, through the Wi-Fi network of the Federal Supreme Court (STF).
Still on Wednesday morning, the agency said it was checking the situation. In the afternoon, he reinforced that he “maintains supervision regarding the blocking order”. Reports were sent to Minister Alexandre de Moraes’ office throughout the day.
The platform is, by order of minister Alexandre de Moraes. The company did not appoint a legal representative in Brazil, failed to comply with court orders and failed to pay fines imposed.
The company stated, in a statement, that the social media platform’s service was restored in an “inadvertent and temporary” manner in Brazil following a change in the company’s network provider.
“When X was deactivated in Brazil, our infrastructure to provide service to Latin America was no longer accessible to our team. To continue providing optimal service to our users, we have changed network providers. This resulted in an inadvertent and temporary restoration of the service for Brazilian users”, says the statement from the social network.
“While we expect the platform to become inaccessible again soon, we continue efforts to work with the Brazilian government to resume it very soon for the people of Brazil,” the notice ends.
Technology expert Arthur Igreja explained to CNN that X made a change in the routing leading to the platform.
“X changed address. So he went through another range of IPs and then people are able to reach this new address”, explained the specialist.
