Elon Musk's satellite-based internet service provider Starlink has announced its decision to comply with a Brazilian Supreme Court justice's order to block the billionaire's social media platform, X. Despite having its assets frozen by Justice Alexandre de Moraes, Starlink stated that it will adhere to the order to block access to X in Brazil. The company emphasized that it continues to pursue legal avenues to address the situation.
Justice de Moraes froze Starlink's accounts as a means to compel the company to cover X's fines, which had exceeded $3 million. Starlink filed an appeal but has refrained from further comments. The justice also ordered the suspension of X for failing to name a local legal representative, a requirement for receiving court notifications and taking necessary actions.
