Explaining the sudden access for some users on Wednesday, X said a change of network providers had "resulted in an inadvertent and temporary service restoration to Brazilian users".

The company’s explanation had caught some observers by surprise.

"Everything that happened during the day led us to believe that it was on purpose," said Basílio Rodriguez Pérez, advisor to ABRINT, the country's leading trade group for Internet Service Providers (ISP).

Um... yeah. See... there's this thing that people do called "lying." It's when they deliberately claim something other than what's actually true.
