After X paid substantial fines and removed accounts suspected of disseminating false material, Justice Alexandre de Moraes declared in his ruling that he approved the “immediate return” of X’s operations within the nation.
A statement claims that the website has complied with Brazilian legislation by designating a local agent and by paying fines of 28 million reais ($5.1 million; £3.8 million).
After the site, which is owned by Elon Musk, declined to prohibit multiple profiles that the government believed to be disseminating false information about the 2022 Brazilian presidential election, Moraes barred access to it.
Brazil’s telecom watchdog, Anatel, has been given instructions to make sure that more than 20 million consumers in the nation get their service restored in a day.
Musk terminated the company’s Brazilian employees in late August and shut down X’s Brazilian office after months of disobeying the court’s directives.
At that time, Elon Musk, who also owns SpaceX, a rocket firm, and Tesla, an electric automobile, tweeted, “The decision to close X offices in Brazil was difficult.”
The millionaire businessman, who himself as a “free-speech absolutist,” had denounced Justice Moraes’ decision to block a number of accounts as an abuse of authority and a breach of free speech.
A few days later, Justice Moraes issued an injunction banning access to the entire platform nationwide.
