Brazil blocked the social network X on Friday after its owner, Elon Musk, refused to comply with a Brazilian judge’s orders to suspend certain accounts, the biggest test yet of the billionaire’s efforts to transform the site into a digital town square where just about anything goes.
In a highly unusual move, Justice Moraes also said that any person in Brazil who tried to still use X via common privacy software called a virtual private network, or VPN, could be fined nearly $9,000 a day. – Source

What’s the conspiracy?
The oppressive regime in Brazil is so afraid of the people learning the truth that they will bankrupt anyone who tries.
Ahh I remember the days when we could speak freely and not worry about hurting weak minded people’s feelings. It’s free speech weather you like what is being said or not.
Well they installed the puppets they want in Brazil and and trying Venezuela again
The freedom on internet is under attack. This is not about fake news and things like that. The elite just don’t want that the people are whispering to eachoter. They want just full controll and dictate the naritive. This is why the old (pre internet) media is so on the hand of the goverments. they allways where mouthpieces of the goverments.
Same as Russia, China and North Korea.
wasn’t it R$ 50K ?
In order to ban accessing X with VPN, one has to ban VPNs altogether, as there’s no way for them to know what exactly are you accessing, just that you’re using a VPN (unless you have a DNS leak, of course).
