The latest news of X and Brazil has emerged after X was ordered to block usage by the Brazilian Supreme Court. However, X users in Brazil have found that they can resume usage because X has changed its network connection method to dynamic IP.
The Brazilian Supreme Court has fined X 5 million reais per day (approximately 30 million baht) as X attempted to circumvent the blocking order to allow normal usage, possibly requiring Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet company, to share the fine.
X clarified that the company did not intend to evade the blocking order, but due to restricted access in Brazil, it affected users in the Latin America region. X then shifted its network connection, potentially allowing users in Brazil to temporarily resume usage, although the company anticipates being blocked in Brazil again. The Supreme Court has also ordered internet service providers at the Cloudflare, Fastly, and EdgeUno levels to block X.
Cloudflare representatives explained that the company does not support or defend against usage blocks. It is typical for customers to connect to Cloudflare in the industry.
