X names Brazil legal representative as it fights ban in the country

Elon Musk-owned social media platform X has named a legal representative in Brazil, the firm’s lawyers said on Friday, in a move that would address one of the demands imposed by Brazil’s top court to allow the company to operate in the country.

Andre Zonaro and Sergio Rosenthal, who were recently appointed as X’s lawyers in Brazil, told Reuters that colleague Rachel de Oliveira Conceicao was chosen as the firm’s legal representative, and that they had submitted her name to the Supreme Court.
