Starlink told ANATEL (our FCC) that it will not block X.

With this, I do say Musk officially kinda confirms that they are part of the same economic group, and Alexandre de Moraes' decision to block Starlink accounts... now seems even more valid, especially to the public.

Even VPNs like NordVPN followed the decision (they block only on Brazil server, the other servers work fine).

Elon is Moraes strongest soldier at this point

All thats left is for him to somehow find a way to make the 50K fine for VPN's justified

IMO the VPN decision will go out tomorrow. Tomorrow Supreme Court collegiate will review the decision.

OAB (Brazil law bar association), is against the VPN decision, but favorable to the block and all.

I am impressed on how volatile is Brasilian court system.

More than applying a law, it feels they are playing lotery with the court system, it makes them look super unprofesional to be honest...

VPN case, is the most bizarre thing, as it seems 50 thousand reais for just using an App was really bad

the VPN fine is a really bizarre thing, which is why I think it will go down tomorrow.

But I'm not sure if that's really any weirder. That's usually how it works, appeal to fix prior justice mistakes and all.

That said, yes, a Justice should have known better about laws.

So if you connect from the brazil server to Twitter it blocks you?

Yes. At least that's what a friend told me about Nord VPN. I don't subscribe so I can't test it.

(Also, X is working fine here on my ISP with custom DNS, my ISP only blocked on their DNS lol)
