Elon Musk's Starlink has agreed to restrict the X Social Network in Brazil.


Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite-internet service, has yielded to Brazilian government directives to block Mr. Musk’s social network X in the country. This marks a significant shift in Musk's stance, following a month-long dispute with Brazilian authorities. Starlink's initial defiance led to threats of license revocation and asset seizure by Brazilian regulators. Despite facing financial sanctions and frozen assets, Starlink has complied with the order to block X in Brazil, while vowing to pursue legal recourse. The Brazilian Supreme Court's actions stem from Musk's refusal to remove certain accounts and his criticism of Justice Moraes, who asserts that Musk is impeding efforts to combat hate speech and attacks on democracy. The court has upheld the order to block X in Brazil, prompting Starlink to offer free internet service to Brazilian customers as it navigates the legal challenges.
