Fighting Brazil ban, X to name legal representative ‘very soon’, its lawyers say

Elon Musk’s social media platform X will present a Brazil legal representative to the local Supreme Court “very soon”, the firm’s lawyers said on Thursday, as the company battles a ruling that sought to shut down its operation in the country.

The move would be the biggest step taken by X towards complying with the demands of Brazil’s Supreme Court, which issued an order in late August suspending the social media platform over concerns about the spread of hate speech.
