The Brazilian Supreme Court has authorised the restoration of social media platform X’s service in Brazil, more than a month after its nationwide shutdown, according to a statement posted on the court’s website.

Elon Musk’s X, formerly Twitter, was blocked on August 30 in the highly online country of 213 million people, and one of X’s biggest markets, with estimates of its userbase ranging from 20 to 40 million.
