X is cleared to go back online in Brazil

Brazil’s Supreme Court said on Tuesday that Elon Musk’s X could return online in the country, marking the end to a months-long battle between the social media platform and Brazilian officials. Addressing the reasons that X was banned in the first place, Musk agreed to take down some user accounts and appoint a legal representative in Brazil, Bloomberg was first to report.

For the last five weeks, Brazilian courts have ordered internet service providers to block users within the country from accessing X, after the platform bucked against court orders to remove certain accounts. X also didn’t have a legal representative in the country to answer the court’s demands. Musk accused Brazil’s Supreme Court of censoring conservative voices, something he has staunchly opposed on a global stage, though he ultimately caved to the court’s pressure and complied.

There was a brief moment in September when X went back online after the social media platform switched to using Cloudflare as a cloud service provider. Cloudflare’s CEO said X dodged the ban by “coincidence.” That coincidence ended up costing Musk nearly $2 million.
