Musk’s X Requests Reinstatement in Brazil After Complying with Court Orders

The social media platform has blocked certain accounts, named a legal representative, and paid fines to meet the demands of Brazil's Supreme Court.

  • Elon Musk's social media platform X has complied with Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes' orders to block specific accounts, name a legal representative, and pay fines.
  • X was blocked in Brazil on August 30, affecting over 20 million users, due to non-compliance with court orders related to misinformation and far-right accounts.
  • The platform's new legal representative in Brazil is Rachel de Oliveira Villa Nova Conceição, who previously held the position before X shuttered its office in the country.
  • Brazilian users migrated to rival platforms like BlueSky and Threads during the ban, which may have influenced X's decision to comply with the court's demands.
  • Despite the compliance, it remains uncertain if the conflict between X and Brazil's top court is fully resolved, as further documentation and cooperation are being monitored.
