The X platform claims to have complied with Brazil’s requirements and asks to restore the service
The new representatives of company X in Brazil presented a document to the Supreme Court on Thursday, in which they alleged to have complied with all the determinations of that court and asked that the suspension of their services be lifted, official sources reported.
The request was sent to Magistrate Alexandre de Moraes, who is responsible in the Supreme Court for a process on the dissemination of false information and hate crimes on the Internet, who on August 31 suspended the activities of the company of tycoon Elon Musk in the country.
The judge made that determination after the company refused “repeatedly and systematically” to comply with Court decisions, which ordered the suspension of profiles that “sowed misinformation and hatred.”
X withdrew his legal representatives from Brazil and failed to pay financial penalties of almost four million dollars, among other discontemnt.
Musk used his own social network to respond to De Moraes, whom he even called a “dictator” and even accused of “violating” the Brazilian Constitution itself, although in the face of the judge’s firmness he has gradually accepted all his decisions.
X at the time of the suspension had 20 million users in Brazil
In the document presented this Thursday, the new legal representatives of X in the country allege that the company has finally complied with all the court decisions and formally asked for “the restoration of the operation of the platform in Brazil.”
The social network X had about twenty million users in Brazil at the time of its suspension and had been in the sights of Justice for months, especially for allowing the spread of false information and hate messages, mostly attributed to activists of the extreme right.
That was reflected in the sentence of Judge De Moraes who, on August 31, ordered the suspension of X in the country, for his “repeated, conscious and voluntary breaches of court orders and payment of fines.”
According to the magistrate, all this would be intended to “institute an environment of total impunity and a ‘lawless land’”, as well as facilitating “the action of extremist groups and digital militias on social networks,” through a “massive dissemination of Nazi, racist, fascist, hate and anti-democratic speeches.”

Archbishop Wenski criticizes Trump’s deportation policies, calls for stronger push for reform
The Archbishop of Miami, Thomas Wenski, has called for increased pressure on the U.S. Congress to advance comprehensive immigration reform and criticized President Donald Trump’s mass deportation policies, arguing that they “do nothing to help.”
“We need to apply more pressure on Congress so lawmakers can make the necessary changes. It is also important for the Administration to listen to our voice. We do not want to be anyone’s enemy—we are Americans,” Wenski said in an interview with EFE.
The religious leader, who heads one of the dioceses with the largest Latino and Haitian populations in the United States, issued a call to defend the rights of migrants. He also emphasized that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has maintained a strong and public stance in favor of migrants for decades.

Trump relaunches diplomatic push to finalize U.S.-Backed peace plan for Ukraine War
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that his diplomatic team will resume meetings with delegations from Russia and Ukraine in an effort to pressure both sides to accept the peace plan proposed by Washington to end the war in Ukraine.
As part of this new round of talks, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will travel to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll will hold discussions with Ukrainian representatives to narrow differences on the remaining points of the agreement.
Trump also confirmed his intention to meet personally with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and with Putin, though he emphasized that such meetings will only take place “when the agreement is fully finalized or in its final stage.”
The president claimed that his administration has made “tremendous progress” toward resolving the conflict and reiterated that the war “never would have started” if he had been in the White House at the onset of the crisis.
The U.S.-backed peace plan consists of 28 points and has been revised following feedback from both sides. According to Trump, only “a few points of disagreement” remain under active discussion.
One of the most controversial aspects of the proposal is the suggestion that Ukraine cede parts of the Donbas region to Russia and limit the size of its armed forces. Kyiv is working closely with Washington to soften these clauses in search of an arrangement that does not compromise its sovereignty or security.
With this diplomatic push, Trump aims to solidify his role as the main mediator in the conflict and steer the war toward a political resolution after years of devastation, humanitarian crisis, and rising global geopolitical tensions.

Man pleads not guilty in Liverpool parade incident that injured more than 130
Paul Doyle, who has been held in provisional detention since the incident, is accused of intentionally injuring 12 people, attempting to injure another 17, and committing acts of violence and dangerous driving.
According to prosecutors, eight of the victims were minors at the time, including a six-month-old baby.
Wearing a black suit, the 54-year-old defendant broke into tears as the jury entered Liverpool Crown Court, in northwest England. Doyle, a father of three and former member of the Royal Navy, had pleaded not guilty in September to the 31 charges against him.
On Tuesday, he reaffirmed his not-guilty plea when asked to respond again to four of the charges, which had been slightly amended. The jury was sworn in the same day, and the trial—expected to last three to four weeks—will begin on Wednesday.
The incident occurred on May 26, when thousands of Liverpool FC supporters were gathered for a parade celebrating the club’s Premier League victory. According to the investigation, Doyle’s car entered a street that had just been reopened to allow an ambulance through.
His vehicle was then surrounded by a crowd of Liverpool supporters, some of whom acted aggressively. Doyle first reversed, then accelerated forward, swerving and striking people on both sides of the street. According to an initial report from Merseyside Police, 134 people were injured.
Firefighters reported that one man was thrown onto the hood of the vehicle and four people, including a child, were trapped underneath the car.
Doyle was arrested at the scene. Police quickly ruled out any terrorist motive, stating instead that it was an isolated incident.
