(VOR News) – According to a document seen, Elon Musk’s X has significantly retreated after providing the Brazilian Supreme Court with evidence that it has complied with directives to limit the dissemination of false material and convincing a judge to lift a ban on the platform.
This content was made available in response to a request made by the Brazilian Supreme Court. This happens at the same time as the millionaire is fighting “censorship.”
Many close to Elon Musk in Brazil think that service might be restored in a few days, even though the court hasn’t made a ruling regarding X’s return yet. This is true even though the court hasn’t rendered a decision yet.
The social media company made a number of accommodating moves that marked a significant retreat in Elon Musk’s months-long battle with Justice Alexandre de Moraes. This led to the request to resume operations in Brazil, one of X’s biggest and most sought-after markets.
By late August, the judge, who has led the local fight against alleged assaults on democracy and the political use of disinformation, had successfully blocked Brazilians’ access to the website that was formerly known as Twitter.
For quite some time, Elon Musk has been dealing with this issue.
The decision was made to take such a drastic measure in response to Musk’s disregard for Moraes’ instructions. Elon Musk had already decided that X’s operations in Brazil should be discontinued.
The court battle resulted in the freezing of Moraes’s accounts at satellite Internet provider Starlink, which led to Elon Musk calling Moraes a “dictator.” The accounts of Moraes were locked. This turned out to be the case because Elon Musk owned another significant corporation at the time the court battle reached it.
Elon Musk, who considers himself to be an advocate for free speech, has been embroiled in a number of recent legal battles with governments that are trying to impede the spread of false material online, including those in Australia and the United Kingdom.
In an attempt to accomplish their objectives, several administrations have been making this effort. There were several disputes that occurred, the altercation with Brazil being just one of them.
Brazil was ranked as the sixth-largest market in the United States, with an estimated 21.5 million people using X there.
Senior researcher Thiago de Aragao of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington said, “Musk was afraid to lose market share and he also realised that this was a nonsense battle and that Brazilians were not turning their backs on Justice Alexandre de Moraes as he had expected.” Together, these two insights guided Musk to pull out from the fight.
“Elon Musk was also aware that this battle was a waste of time.”
Utilising third-party cloud services was X’s most recent attempt to get around Moraes’ restrictions. This allowed Brazilians to use the company’s platform in defiance of the embargo, but the attempt was a failure, especially after Moraes threatened to fine the company heavily.
At the end of the previous week, X adopted a more accommodating stance by designating a local attorney in accordance with Moraes’ mandate. This action was taken in response to Moraes’ request.
The corporation that Elon Musk controls stated in the paper that it had blocked nine accounts that were being investigated for hate speech and false information. The document was submitted to the Brazilian Supreme Court. That specific case was the subject of the investigation.
His reversal of position is a particularly encouraging development. Former Brazilian ambassador to the United States Rubens Barbosa stated in a Reuters interview that he believes the law should be obeyed rather than broken, regardless of one’s personal opinion of the law.
According to two people who are aware of Elon Musk’s mental processes, the billionaire will adopt a very different strategy if X goes back to Brazil.
This is a result of X being a Brazilian business. Furthermore, they said that even while he is still capable of being hostile, there’s a good chance he will still try to abide by the law. One of the people declared that “he will fight in the courts from this point forward.”
