Based on reporting from New York Times, Musk Backs Down In Brazil: X May Return After Complying With Court Orders [msn.com]

X’s lawyers said in a Friday court filing cited by the Times that X complied with the orders asking the social network to remove accounts accused of engaging in disinformation, as well as demands from the Supreme Court regarding fines and the assignment of a new legal representative for X in Brazil. The Brazilian Supreme Court confirmed the compliance in its own filing Saturday, though it noted X has yet to file the proper documents to move forward with its case and will have five days to do so, the Times reported. André Zonaro Giacchetta, one of X’s new lawyers in Brazil, told the Times the conditions for X’s return in Brazil “have already been met, but it depends on the assessment of” the country’s supreme court.
