Elon Musk’s Starlink company on Sunday refused to comply with orders to suspend the social network X service in Brazil, also owned by the South African.
The information was confirmed by the president of the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel, the regulatory body), Carlos Baigorri, the entity in charge of notifying the More than 20 thousand operators in Brazil from the suspension order of the social network X in the South American country, reported the news portal G1.
The accounts of Starlink, a satellite internet services company with More than 215 thousand active lines in Brazilwere blocked by Federal Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes, to guarantee the payment of fines imposed on X.
The judge had ordered X to remove a series of profiles linked to the far right led by former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is under investigation in other cases for having planned a coup against the country’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Musk refused to do so, accusing Alexandre de Moraes of acting without apparent motive.
Lula da Silva says Elon Musk has to respect X’s suspension in Brazil. “What does he think he is?”
In mid-August, South African tycoon closed X’s offices in Brazil to “protect employees”who said they were threatened with arrest by the judge.
