The news: Brazil's Supreme Court has cleared X to resume service in the country after the social media platform reversed its course and started complying with court rulings.
The numbers: The court ruled that Brazil's telecommunications regulator Anatel must work to allow X to come back online in the country within 24 hours, Reuters reported.
The context: Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who has been locked in a months-long feud with X’s billionaire owner, Elon Musk, gave the social media giant the green light to resume operations in Latin America's largest country. Moraes said all the "necessary requirements for the immediate return of X Brasil... were documented" in his decision.
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.
Musk, who had denounced the orders as censorship and called Moraes a "dictator", backed down and started to reverse his position in recent weeks, with X blocking ordered accounts, appointing a local representative and paying pending fines.
