SUMMARY
X has taken steps to comply with Brazilian Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes’ orders and is now seeking to have its ban lifted in Brazil. X adhered to directives by blocking specific accounts, naming a legal representative, and paying fines for previous non-compliance. The platform had been blocked in Brazil on August 30 after months of conflict over misinformation and far-right accounts. Musk accused the judge of censoring political opponents and called him an "enemy of free speech," though these rulings were upheld. X’s newly appointed legal representative, Rachel de Oliveira Villa Nova Conceição, was threatened with arrest earlier, prompting legal protections in the company’s filings. Experts suggest that X's compliance could also be influenced by user migration to rival platforms like BlueSky and Threads, raising concerns about losing core users from its early Twitter days. Whether the feud between X and Brazil’s top court is fully resolved remains unclear.
