Elon Musk's X Complies with Brazil's Supreme Court Demands Amid 86% Revenue Drop

Sep 22, 2024, 06:58 PM

Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has decided to comply with the legal demands of Brazil's Supreme Court after weeks of defiance. The compliance includes appointing a legal representative in Brazil, blocking certain accounts, and paying fines. This move comes after Musk previously accused the court of censorship and refused to follow what he termed 'illegal orders.' The decision to comply is seen as a significant step towards lifting the ban on X in Brazil, which could happen as early as next week. Brazil's Supreme Court has asked for additional documents to validate X's compliance efforts. The New York Times reported that the platform had experienced an 86% drop in revenue, which may have influenced Musk's decision. The court orders were issued by Judge Alexandre de Moraes.
