SpaceX subsidiary Starlink says it is fighting to keep its customers in Brazil connected after the country’s telecoms regulator threatened sanctions.
SpaceX’s satellite broadband company Starlink said Tuesday it is fighting to keep its customers in Brazil connected after the country’s telecommunications regulator threatened sanctions. Starlink has now found itself in the middle of a spat between X’s owner Elon Musk and Brazilian Judge Alexandre de Moraes, who banned X in Brazil after finding that the platform allowed postings that he deemed had undermined Brazil’s democracy.
WHITE HOUSE TAGS ELON MUSK AS 'ANTI-LABOR BILLIONAIRE' IN RESPONSE TO CRITICISM Starlink said it initiated legal proceedings in the Brazilian Supreme Court after Moraes’ order. "Regardless of the illegal treatment of Starlink in freezing of our assets, we are complying with the order to block access to X in Brazil," the company wrote. "We continue to pursue all legal avenues, as are others who agree that ’ recent orders violate the Brazilian constitution.
