X’s lawyers said on Friday night that they had appointed a legal representative in Brazilcomplying with one of the requirements imposed by the court to allow the social platform to resume operations in the country.
In his decision on Saturday, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes gave X five days to provide business records and other documents proving that X formally signed Rachel de Oliveira Conceicao as his legal representative in Brazil.
In late August, Brazil’s top court ordered mobile and internet service providers to block X in Brazil, leaving users without service within hours after X failed to comply with the court’s demands, including appointing a legal representative.
Brazilian law requires foreign companies to have a legal representative to operate in the country. The representative would assume the legal responsibilities of the company at the local level.
X had a legal representative in Brazil until mid-August, when it decided to close its offices and lay off its staff in the country.
