Anatel confirms to the STF that Starlink complied with the X block
The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) confirmed to the Federal Supreme Court (STF) that Starlink, businessman Elon Musk's satellite internet provider, complied with the decision to remove X from the air. Last Tuesday, the 3rd, the company retreated from its previous decision and announced that it would comply with Minister Alexandre de Moraes' order.
Anatel reported that Starlink blocked its 224,458 accesses in the country, which correspond to 0.5% of total computer accesses in Brazil. The blockade was carried out from 6:06 pm this Wednesday, 3rd.
Last Sunday, the 1st, Starlink announced that it would not take down the X until Moraes released the company's accounts. The minister blocked the amounts because he understood that Starlink participates in the same economic group as X, and therefore could be held responsible for the company's debts to the courts. The network did not pay fines it received for failing to comply with court orders to take down profiles, the value of which exceeds R$18 million.
