Brazilian users swarmed the site on Wednesday after X updated how its servers within the country were accessed.

The platform’s restoration was unintended, the company said. Hours later access was again blocked.

On Thursday, a Brazilian court fined the firm five million reais ($920,000; £695,000) for breaching the ban.

The company moved its service back to its previous provider on Thursday afternoon, according to the ABRINT internet provider association, which said it noticed the change while testing to block the new servers.
