Brazil lifts ban on X after Elon Musk complies with court demands

Social platform was blocked after tech billionaire failed to name local representatives and pay fines

Brazilians are set to regain access to X after a supreme court judge lifted a ban introduced nearly six weeks ago as a result of Elon Musk's failure to comply with the South American country's laws.

X was blocked in Brazil, where it had more than 22 million users, at the end of August in what was the culmination of a months-long arm wrestle between the network's billionaire owner and the Brazilian supreme court.
