Brazil’s Supreme Court has fined Elon Musk’s X and Starlink USD1 million per day for restoring access to X, despite a court-ordered ban. The platform had been suspended in Brazil after refusing to appoint a legal representative, a legal requirement. X claims the service was "inadvertently" restored after switching cloud providers, but officials accuse the company of intentionally bypassing the ban. The court has demanded the immediate suspension of these new servers, or face continued fines. This highlights the complexities of enforcing digital restrictions, as X’s use of dynamic IPs makes blocking difficult without affecting other services.
