X and Starlink face $1M in daily fines for alleged ban evasion in Brazil

> Brazil's national telecommunication agency, Anatel, has been ordered by de Moraes to prevent access to the platform by blocking Cloudflare as well as Fastly and EdgeUno servers, and others that the court said had been "created to circumvent" a suspension of X in Brazil.

Blocking Cloudflare and Fastly seems like a reactionary measure that is not exactly well conceived.

This seems like a worthwhile fight. I'm surprised to see someone taking it up, though, most of the time company's just seem to comply with government mandated censorship.

The tone of the responses from X have changed a great deal since the whole thing began. There’s much less of a confrontational approach, presumably because given the declines in revenues, they’re realizing they can’t afford more of it.

How do they plan on collecting on that if the money is moved out of Brazilian accounts?
