X reverses course, tells Brazil court it will comply with rulings

BRASILIA, April 15 (Reuters) - Lawyers representing Elon Musk's X told Brazil's Supreme Court that the social media platform will comply with every ruling issued by the court or Brazil's top electoral court, according to a letter seen by Reuters on Monday.
The document addressed to Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes comes after Musk last week said he would challenge a decision by Moraes ordering X, formerly known as Twitter, to block certain accounts in the South American country.
The move marks a change of stance by X's Brazilian unit, which last week said in a separate document sent to Moraes that it was not able to control the U.S.-based company's willingness to comply with the Brazilian court's orders.
"As already communicated to the federal police, X Brasil informs that all orders issued by this Supreme Court and the Superior Electoral Court will continue to be fully complied with by X Corp," the lawyers told Moraes in the letter seen on Monday.
