• Brazil’s supreme court said Friday that it ordered funds to be moved from Starlink and X bank accounts to pay fines levied against Elon Musk’s social media venture.
  • Following the transfers, the court ordered that the seized bank accounts and assets of X and Starlink be unfrozen, saying there was no longer any need to keep them.
  • The use of X has been suspended in Brazil since late August.

    All ISPs were required to block Twitter/X. Starlink was the only one that didn’t. They didn’t charge SpaceX because it belonged to Musk but because they violated the court order.

      If that’s the case the first bullet point is pretty misleading. Don’t see a problem with a fine in that case

        Sure, if only look at that one thing and go to zero lengths to understand context.

        Things aren’t misleading just because you want every detail spooned to you.

          There is nothing in this story that makes it clear that the fines were levied against SpaceX for refusing to block X. That is a lack of context
