Elon Musk\u2019s social media platform used a technical maneuver to restore service for many Brazilians after a court blocked it. Blocking it again would be difficult, experts said.<\/p>\n

In his ongoing fight with the Brazilian authorities, score one for Elon Musk \u2014 at least for now.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, his social network, X, suddenly went live again for many across Brazil after three weeks of being blocked<\/a> under orders from Brazil\u2019s Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

The reason? X made a technical change to how it routes its internet traffic, enabling the site to evade the digital roadblocks set up in recent weeks by Brazilian internet providers.<\/p>\n

The president of Brazil\u2019s telecommunications regulator, Anatel, confirmed X\u2019s maneuver and said his agency was evaluating how to block the platform again.<\/p>\n

The new twist showed how Mr. Musk appears far from backing down in Brazil, making the dispute a significant test of strength between national sovereignty and the borderless power of internet companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Brazil\u2019s Supreme Court blocked X because the company defied orders to remove certain accounts and then closed its offices in the country to avoid consequences.<\/p>\n

Days later, a separate company controlled by Mr. Musk, the satellite-internet provider Starlink, told Brazilian regulators<\/a> it would continue to deliver X directly to Brazilians from satellites in space. Starlink later backed down<\/a> after regulators made clear the company would lose its license in Brazil.<\/p>\n
