Foreign Media: X May Return to Brazil After Complying with Court Order, Pending Judicial Assessment
X Complies with Brazilian Court Orders, but Case Continues
**X's lawyers stated in a court filing on Friday that the social media platform has complied with orders to remove accounts allegedly involved in spreading misinformation and to appoint a new legal representative in Brazil, as instructed by the Supreme Court. **
According to The Times, Brazil's Supreme Court confirmed this in its own documents on Saturday, but noted that X has yet to submit the proper documents to move the case forward, giving the company five days to comply.
André Zonaro Giacchetta, one of X's new lawyers in Brazil, said the conditions for X's return to Brazil "have been met, but are subject to" the court's evaluation. Elon Musk had previously publicly stated that X would continue to defy court orders, claiming the judge behind the orders was engaged in political censorship and even describing the demands as "the most egregious demands of any country on Earth."
According to the Associated Press, analysts estimate that around 40 million Brazilians use X at least once a month. X did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and Musk and the social media platform's global government affairs page did not release any comments or statements on Saturday.
