On Wednesday, social media platform X, formerly Twitter, became accessible again in Brazil by inadvertently bypassing a Supreme Court-ordered block.

X used third-party cloud services from Cloudflare to allow some users access without a VPN, according to the Brazilian Association of Internet and Telecommunications Providers (Abrint).

The block was initially imposed after disputes between X owner Elon Musk and Brazilian justice Alexandre de Moraes.

Although the update allowed access, Brazil’s national telecommunications agency, Anatel, planned to reimpose the block with Cloudflare's cooperation.

X stated this service restoration was inadvertent and temporary, arising from a switch in network providers to continue service in Latin America.

The issue drew criticism from the White House, advocating for unrestricted social media access, which Musk acknowledged with appreciation.
