STORY: Elon Musk’s X is back in business in Brazil. On Tuesday, the country’s Supreme Court allowed the social network to resume service. That’s after X started complying with rulings Musk has previously vowed to fight. The platform had been blocked in one of its largest markets since late August, after it refused to comply with orders regarding the moderation of hate speech. X also failed to name a legal representative in the country, as required by law. Musk denounced the orders as “censorship”, calling Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes a “dictator”. However, he started to reverse course over recent weeks. X has since blocked accounts listed by the court, named a local representative, and paid pending fines. In Tuesday’s ruling, Moraes ordered Brazil’s telecoms regulator to allow the social network back online within 24 hours. X said it was proud to return, and would “continue to defend freedom of speech, within the boundaries of the law”. Brazil’s communications minister called the outcome a “victory for the country”. The standoff had seen many users in Brazil migrate to rival platforms like Bluesky and Threads, owned by Facebook-parent Meta. That threatened to undermine X in what was its sixth-biggest market worldwide, with over 21 million users as of April.
