The social media platform X, led by Elon Musk, appears to be giving in – and wants to comply with several of the demands that Brazil has set for the platform, reports The New York Times.
X has been banned in Brazil since the end of the summer. The platform has been removed from Apple's and Google's app stores, and at the beginning of September, the country's highest court confirmed the decision.
Now, X is agreeing to, for example, remove accounts that Brazilian judges have deemed a threat to the country's democracy. Additionally, the platform will appoint a formal representative in the country, according to the newspaper.
The original decision to ban X was made by the controversial Alexandre de Moraes, chairman of the country's constitutional court. He has previously threatened to imprison X representatives if they do not comply with the country's laws. This comes after several months of disputes over the content on the platform, where de Moraes claims that extremism, hate speech, and anti-democratic content are being spread.
