Musk's X back online to some Brazil users after suspension lifted
Oct 10, 2024 10:16 PM

SAO PAULO, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Social media giant X was

available to some Brazilian users on Wednesday, one day after

the country's Supreme Court cleared billionaire Elon Musk's

platform to resume service for complying with court rulings.

Brazil's telecommunications regulator, Anatel, said on

Wednesday that it has begun ordering internet providers to allow

users to access X again. Some users were already accessing the

platform, and topics such as "we're back" were trending on

Wednesday in Latin America's biggest country.

Yet some Brazilians were still not able to access X,

previously know as Twitter, and Anatel said the time it takes

for the platform to be unlocked would depend on the procedures

taken by each internet provider.

Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who had been

locked in a months-long feud with Musk, gave X the green light

to resume operations in Latin America's largest country Tuesday

afternoon, ordering Anatel to allow X to come back online within

24 hours.

In the decision, Moraes said X had met all the necessary

requirements to start operating again in the country, after the

platform reversed course and started complying with court

rulings Musk had previously vowed to resist.

X had been suspended in Brazil, one of its largest and

most-coveted markets, since late August after not complying with

court orders related to hate speech moderation and failing to

name a legal representative in the country, as required by law.

Brazil is X's sixth-biggest market globally and as of April

had about 21.5 million users, according to data platform

Statista.
