Elon Musk's X has started complying with Brazil's Supreme Court demands, marking a significant shift from its refusal to suspend disinformation-accused accounts. This compliance seeks to unblock the platform.
X initially vowed to protect user freedom of speech and oppose illegal orders. However, in a recent reversal, the company took down accounts as ordered by Brazil's justice, indicating a contradiction to previous commitments.
The court's orders, which led to X's fines and account suspensions, targeted users thought to threaten democracy, notably some supporters of Jair Bolsonaro, after the January 2023 congressional attacks.
X's legal representatives mentioned their compliance with the justice's demands, including the appointment of a new formal representative, reflecting a significant concession to the Brazilian judiciary's authority.
