Elon Musk’s X Cleared to Resume Service in Brazil
Brazil’s Supreme Court has cleared the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to resume operations after it complied with local court orders.
The decision marks the end of a months-long standoff between Elon Musk, owner of X, and Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes.
The dispute had led to the platform’s suspension in late August, with Brazilian authorities citing non-compliance with hate speech moderation requirements and a lack of local legal representation.
X Reinstated After Compliance
In his ruling, Justice Alexandre de Moraes confirmed that X had met all necessary conditions to resume operations in Brazil.
This includes implementing stricter content moderation policies to limit hate speech and appointing a legal representative in the country.
The decision requires Brazil's telecommunications regulator, Anatel, to reinstate the platform within 24 hours.
Through its Global Affairs account, X expressed gratitude for the opportunity to return to one of its largest markets, saying, “We will continue to defend freedom of speech, within the boundaries of the law, in the countries where we operate.”
