“The decision imposes a daily fine of R$50,000 (£6,800) on individuals and companies that attempt to continue using X via VPN.”
X missed the deadline to name a legal representative in Brazil and announced an hour later it would not comply. Justice Moraes gave the telecom regulator 24 hours to push a block to more than 20,000 internet providers. He ordered Apple and Google to pull the app and block VPNs, then backed off the same evening. Musk picked the fight, and Brazilian users caught the fine for a VPN.
