Brazil’s top prosecutor’s office told the country’s Supreme Court on Tuesday that it does not see reasons to prevent social medial platform X of being reinstated, according to a statement, after it was shut down locally due to a legal dispute.
The office’s legal opinion on the subject was the last remaining pending measure set by Brazil’s Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes in order to allowing the tech firm to resume services in Brazil.
Moraes now needs to rule on whether the platform will be reinstated.
X has been suspended since late August in Brazil, one of its largest and most coveted markets, after not complying with court orders related to hate speech moderation and failing to name a legal representative in the country, as required by law.
Musk, who had denounced the orders as censorship and called Moraes a “dictator,” backed down and started to reverse his position in recent weeks, with X blocking ordered accounts, tapping a local representative, and paying pending fines.
