The tycoon’s company has five days to submit the documentation in compliance with the Brazilian court orders.
Company X, whose owner is Elon Musk agreed to comply with the request of the Brazilian Supreme Court to lift the ban nationwide. This totally contradicts the tycoon’s positionwho claimed to be acting in defense of “freedom of expression.”
What the company will have to do is delete the accounts on the social network that the judge Alexandre de Moraes ordered, as he explained that they threatened Brazil’s democracy. In addition, the lawyers mentioned that X complied with other demands of justice, including the payment of fines and the appointment of a new formal representative in the country, according to the New York Times.
Last Wednesday, The social network was active again in the South American countrybypassing the suspension by using a cybersecurity service called CloudfareUnfortunately for users it was for a short time, since the next day the court ordered that it stop doing so, resulting in a new blockage of the platform.
That same day X hired new lawyers in Braziland filed the lawsuit on Friday. Today, the Brazilian court confirmed the company’s intention to return to the country, and They gave five days to send the documentation of their compliance of the court order. In this way, the defeat of Elon Musk was consummated, who had to surrender so that the platform can be used again.
Debates on freedom of expression
The former president Jair Bolsonaroone of the biggest critics of the veto, was quick to post on Wednesday for the first time since August 30: “I congratulate everyone for the pressure that moved gears in defense of democracy in Brazil (…), ban the country’s largest social network “It was not about punishing a company, it was about punishing millions of Brazilians.”
According to Rodriguez Perez, Cloudflare is used by “more than 24 million sites in the world including banks, media outlets, sites of the Brazilian government itself,” to which the union spokesman added that “we have to wait for new guidelines on what to do and how to do it, because you cannot simply block something that could block an important service or necessary for the population“.
On the old X, some users expressed their surprise at the return of the network, and regarding the court order to suspend the platform, it has fueled the debate on the freedom of expression and the limits of social networks inside and outside the South American country. Moraes recently accused Elon Musk of being a “evil dictator“.
