Brazil has officially reinstated the social media platform X, owned by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, after months of legal dispute and a $5.5 million fine payment.
The platform had been suspended for failing to comply with court orders related to hate speech and misinformation. The decision to lift the ban was made by Brazil’s Supreme Court following X’s compliance with local laws and regulations.
Elon Musk X Restored In Brazil
Brazil’s Supreme Court, through a ruling by Justice Alexandre de Moraes, has allowed X to resume operations in the country. This comes after the platform, under the leadership of Elon Musk, took several steps to align with Brazilian regulations.
These actions included paying fines, blocking accounts involved in the spread of misinformation, and appointing a local legal representative, as required by law.
X had been suspended since late August due to its failure to meet court orders on content moderation and the absence of a local representative. Musk had initially resisted these rulings, criticizing them as censorship, but reversed his stance recently. By complying with the court’s demands, Musk’s social media platform is now cleared to operate once again in one of its largest markets, marking the end of a tense standoff with Brazil’s judiciary.
