Starlink Complies With Brazilian Court Order To Block Social Media Platform X

According to Cointelegraph, Starlink, the satellite company controlled by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, announced its compliance with a Brazilian court order to block the social media platform X in the country. The decision follows a legal dispute involving one of Brazil's Supreme Court Justices, Alexandre de Moraes. On August 30, Moraes ordered the suspension of X in Brazil after Musk refused to appoint a legal representative for the company's operations in the country. This decision was later upheld by a panel of five Justices. In a post on X dated September 3, Starlink described the court ruling as 'illegal,' specifically targeting Justice Moraes. Despite expressing disagreement with the ruling, Starlink stated, '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 also mentioned that it is exploring all legal avenues to challenge the decision, asserting that Moraes' recent orders violate the Brazilian constitution. This is a developing story, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
