Starlink is taking a big step in Brazil today! 🚀 The satellite internet giant has announced it will comply with a Brazilian Supreme Court order to block X (formerly Twitter), even though a judge has frozen their assets. 📡⚖️
Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the suspension of X after the platform refused to name a local legal representative, which is crucial for receiving court notifications and taking swift action. This decision impacts X's over $3 million in fines and is now upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court. 🏛️
Starlink's statement mentions their intention to follow the order despite the asset freeze, calling it illegal treatment, but they plan to pursue all legal avenues. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has been vocal against Justice de Moraes, posting critical remarks on X. 🗣️💬
