SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian Supreme Court said on Friday that social platform X needs to pay some pending fines in order to resume its service in the country, according to a court document.

Earlier this week, Elon Musk-owned social platform told the court it had complied with orders to stop the spread of misinformation and asked it to lift a ban on the platform.
