Moraes had impeded inherit to the platform, owned by Elon Musk, after it had turned down to taboo several profiles deemed by the government to be spreading misinformation about the 2022 Brazilian Presidential election.

Anatel, Brazil's telecoms watchdog, has been thatched to ensure service has resumed for an estimated 20 million users in the country within 24 hours.



After months of ignoring the court’s orders, Mr Musk fired the company’s Brazilian staff in late August and closed X's office in Brazil.

A self-declared "free-speech absolutist", Musk had described Justice Moraes’ move to prohibit several dozen accounts as an abuse of power and a violation of free speech.
