Elon Musk’s X told Brazil’s Supreme Court that it had appointed two attorneys to represent it in the country, nearly three weeks after a top judge ordered internet providers to block access to the social media platform in Latin America’s largest nation.
X informed Judge Alexandre de Moraes that it had named the legal representatives on Wednesday, according to a court document. But Moraes, who barred access to the platform after its billionaire owner refused to remove certain accounts and appoint legal representation, said in response that the company had failed to prove the attorneys are working on its behalf, and gave it 24 hours to provide such evidence.
