SAO PAULO (AP) — Elon Musk’s satellite-based internet service provider Starlink backtracked Tuesday and said it will comply with a Brazilian Supreme Court justice’s order to block the billionaire’s social media platform, X.
Starlink said in a statement posted on X that it will heed Justice Alexandre de Moraes’ order despite him having frozen the company’s assets. Previously, it informally told the telecommunications regulator that it would not comply until de Moraes reversed course.
“Regardless of the illegal treatment of Starlink in freezing our assets, we are complying with the order to block access to X in Brazil,” the company statement said. “We continue to pursue all legal avenues, as are others who agree that @alexandre’s recent order violate the Brazilian constitution.”
Again, you lost the plot and have no idea what cause and effect is. This is your life right now.
You’re just made up of insults, not knowledge.
You keep telling yourself that.
Try reading the articles and following what’s going on before you spend two more days concern trolling.
They are mad at X (Twitter), and so they took it out on a separate ISP (starlink) that only has Elon in common, but it otherwise not associated.
Thats like threatening Comcast, or whatever ISP you have in your area, to take their business from them if they don’t ban Facebook.
If I’m missing something, please elaborate.
Are you intentionally this dense, or do you truly have no idea what’s going on?
In a “read the article” sense or a “read between the lines” sense? The first, yes. The second… maybe not?
As in read the articles and follow the story, brick wall. Dense af.

These articles provide the same information I already had. I still don’t think it is the job of an ISP that is floating in the sky to obey a ruling against Twitter, a separate company. This same misinformation was likely on Facebook and Lemmy. Should all those be banned? (Rhetorical).
If they want to ban Twitter, fine whatever. But Starlink doesn’t actually have to “do business” in Brazil to allow people with a satellite dish to connnect from anywhere.
Obviously, these are my own opinion. You don’t have to agree with me, and I don’t even care if you do. Call me whatever names you want, it just makes me giggle.
