He went back on the ban for using VPNs and taking the VPN apps from app stores.
But the main idea of the decision remains, if you're a Brazilian citizen and somehow manage to bypass the ban on X, you can be fined for it. For example, Starlink users can still use X because the company decided to not follow suit, risking to lose their operating license in the country.
My guess, unless you frequently tweet things directed at politicians and government officials, Xandão won't come after you.
EDIT: "Moraes backtracks and suspends ban on downloading VPN applications": https://valor.globo.com/politica/noticia/2024/08/30/moraes-volta-atras-e-suspende-proibicao-a-download-de-aplicativos-de-vpn.ghtml https://valor.globo.com/politica/noticia/2024/08/30/moraes-v...
Alexandre de Moraes' initial decision also establishes "the application of a daily fine of R$50,000 to individuals and legal entities that engage in conduct involving the use of technological subterfuge to continue communications via 'X', such as the use of VPN". The fine remains in effect.
