Source: X complied with orders to block certain accounts from the platform, name an official legal representative in Brazil .

X was blocked on Aug. 30 in the highly online country of 213 million people, where it was one of X’s biggest markets, with more than 20 million users.

The platform's decision to appoint a representative indicates the platform has entered “a state of good-faith cooperation with Brazilian authorities”.

They were targeted by a yearslong investigation overseen by de Moraes , initially for allegedly spreading defamatory fake news and threats against Supreme Court justices.

Musk, meanwhile, accused the court of suppressing free speech and violating Brazil ’s constitution.

X's defiant stance appears to have softened following the shutdown of the social media platform.
