X (formerly Twitter), owned by Elon Musk, has appointed a legal representative in Brazil, marking a significant step toward lifting the recent ban imposed by the country’s Supreme Court. The appointment of Rachel de Oliveira Conceicao, submitted by X’s lawyers Andre Zonaro and Sergio Rosenthal on Friday, September 20, fulfils a key requirement for foreign companies operating in Brazil. Following the ban, which resulted from X’s failure to comply with court orders regarding hate speech and misinformation, the platform faced swift service disruptions in the country. In addition to naming a legal representative, X's lawyers stated that the company is now complying with court directives to remove harmful content.
