Brazil Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes lifted the restrictions after transferring more than $3 million to the government to cover fines owed by X. Despite this, X still remains blocked in Brazil.
Trump will roll out “World Liberty Financial” on X Spaces, at 8pm ET on September 16th.
The former president announced the project last month, providing virtually no details about what it actually is. We’ll find out next week — assuming the stream doesn’t crash like Trump’s interview with Elon Musk.
X’s head of global affairs, Nick Pickles, announced he’s leaving the company after a 10-year run. Pickles recently became X CEO Linda Yaccarino’s right-hand man and was one of the few remaining senior leaders from Twitter’s pre-Musk era. His departure comes right after Brazil banned X due to its refusal to block certain accounts and designate a legal representative in the country.
The app, which you can use to watch content on X, is now available on LG TVs, Fire TV, and Google TV. You can also find it on the Google Play Store.
X started rolling out the ability to edit DMs over the weekend. It’s only available on iOS right now, with “other platforms coming soon.” There is no time limit on editing DMs, but you’re only allowed up to five edits per message. Editing images and encrypted DMs aren’t supported just yet, though.
In today’s issue of Garbage Day, Ryan Broderick argues that the lively Brazilian community of X users may find a home on Bluesky, but not so much on Threads, whose heavy-handed algorithmically sorted user interface doesn’t click with Brazilian internet culture.
A caveat from The Verge: we still don’t have official numbers on Brazilian sign-ups for Threads over the weekend.
