In a significant development, Brazil's Supreme Court has authorized the resumption of operations for social media platform X within the nation. This decision follows the platform's reversal in policy, aligning itself with the court's rulings after a period of resistance.

The approval was granted by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, marking the end of a protracted conflict with X's owner, Elon Musk. Musk had previously expressed his intention not to comply with the court mandates, prolonging the standoff.

The ruling is effective immediately, allowing X to restart its services in Latin America's largest market, reflecting a pivotal change in the relationship between the tech industry leader and local judicial authorities.
