On October 9, a significant development emerged concerning the social media platform X, owned by renowned American entrepreneur Elon Musk. The Brazilian Supreme Court announced on the 8th that X has fulfilled all requirements, thereby allowing the platform to resume its operations in Brazil.
In a report from Reuters, Judge Alexandre de Moraes, who has had a lengthy conflict with Musk, granted X the immediate authorization to operate in the country again. Judge de Moraes confirmed that X has met all the necessary conditions for reinstatement.
Previously, the Brazilian court had directed X to block certain accounts that were spreading misinformation. Musk initially pushed back against these court orders, labeling them as “censorship.” This led to X’s services being suspended in Brazil at the end of August.
However, it seems that Musk’s approach has changed in recent weeks. X has taken measures to block accounts spreading false information, appointed a local representative, and settled the required fines.
On the 8th, a representative from X stated, “We are honored to be back in Brazil.”
