Elon Musk’s Starlink agrees to block X in Brazil after previously refusing orders from the country’s Supreme Court
Elon Musk’s satellite internet provider Starlink reversed course and said it would comply with an order by Brazil’s top court to block access to X, the billionaire’s social network, in Latin America’s largest country.
Starlink, which had its bank accounts frozen by judicial order, had informally told Anatel, the country’s telecommunications watchdog, that it wouldn’t comply with the requirement, according to the agency.
“Regardless of the illegal treatment of Starlink in freezing of our assets, we are complying with the order to block access to X in Brazil,” the company said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
