Following an update made on Wednesday night, there is a change in X that allows users in Brazil to access the social network banned by the Brazilian justice system.

OX was updated “about 15 hours ago, overnight, which resulted in a significant change in its structure,” said the Brazilian Association of Internet and Telecommunications Providers (Abrint) in a statement.
According to the supplier, “Moving to Cloudflare makes app blocking much more difficult”Since, unlike “the previous system, which used specific IPs that could be blocked, the new system makes use of dynamic IPs that change constantly.”
According to O Globo newspaper, Cloudflare operates in 330 cities in more than 120 countries and provides services to large institutions, such as banks.
Internet providers are now in a “delicate position” as they “cannot take action on their own without official guidance from Anatel.” [Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações]“A wrongful block could affect legitimate businesses,” Abrint explained.
“Therefore, they are awaiting a technical analysis and instructions from Anatel to decide what measures will be taken,” he concluded.
Last week, the judge of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) of Brazil Alexandre de Moraes ordered the transfer of three million euros from blocked company accounts to the Brazilian State and Starlink, owned by billionaire Elon Musk.
“The company was fined for not removing content following an order from the Supreme Court in ongoing investigations, in addition to having withdrawn its legal representatives from Brazil, which led to the suspension of the platform’s operation,” the judge recalled.
Once the payment was made, the judge ordered the unblocking of bank accounts and other company assets, such as cars and properties.
In response to the repeated refusals of businessman Elon Musk, owner of X, to delete profiles of people investigated for transmitting anti-democratic messages, Federal Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes ordered the suspension of the network in Brazil as a precautionary measure, on August 30, after Musk failed to comply with an order to appoint a legal representative in Brazil within 24 hours.
The judge’s decision was unanimously supported a few days later by the five members of one of the court’s chambers.
Alexandre de Moraes also ordered Android and iOS app stores to remove VPN Internet access programs from their catalogues, as well as imposing a fine of 8,000 euros on anyone who uses them to access X, which has around 20 million users in the country.
The judge later struck down the rule banning the offering of apps that allowed Internet access via VPN, but upheld the fine.
