Elon Musk’s social media platform X, which was banned in Brazil for 40 days due to legal issues over disinformation, has made a comeback in Latin America’s largest country. The site was accessible again in Brazil, the biggest market for X in Latin America, following the lifting of its suspension by the Supreme Court. Users showed excitement over its return with the hashtag “#voltou” trending in Brazil.
X also expressed its satisfaction with the decision, stating that it is proud to be back in Brazil and will continue to support freedom of speech within legal boundaries. The reactivation process was reportedly sporadic, with some users still facing connectivity issues.
Brazil’s telecoms regulator Anatel explained that the delays were due to internet provider issues. X had 22 million users in Brazil before being blocked and had to pay fines to resume operations. The conflict between Judge Alexandre de Moraes and Musk was closely followed globally, with Musk criticizing Moraes as an “evil dictator” during the ban.
The return of X in Brazil marks a triumph for the country, asserting its sovereignty and commitment to upholding the law for all. This high-profile legal battle showcased the importance of regulating social media platforms for combatting disinformation.
