An order that the Supreme Court judge (Tribunal supremo federal, Stf), Alexandre de Moraes, had given to the managers of the magnate’s company Elon Musk, Thursday, August 30, with a 24-hour ultimatum.
On Friday afternoon, the magistrate instructed the national telecommunications agency (Anatel) to transmit the provision to operators registered in the country, including Starlink, a company in which Musk has a majority stake, which provides satellite internet service. Because the platform, which according to various estimates has about twenty million users in Brazil, will take time: the operators, each with different procedures, will have to prevent access X to their customers, with protocols valid for both browsers and mobile phones.
At the moment, local media report, only a few large operating companies, out of approximately 20 in the area, have completed the procedure. The suspension, the result of a complex and controversial legal case, will be revoked once the company has appointed a legal representative, the fines have been paid and the other orders of the Court have been carried out.
