SpaceX satellite internet service, Starlink, said it will comply with court orders to block social network X in Brazil.
Elon Musk owns both businesses.
Brazil's supreme court blocked X in the country after it openly defied the court's orders and failed to pay fines. X refused requests to suspend accounts posting content that the court alleged harmed democratic institutions in Brazil, which is preparing for municipal elections in October. As CNBC has previously reported, Starlink has advertised on X and Musk has encouraged users to access the social network using his satellite internet service.
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. We continue to pursue all legal avenues, as are others who agree thatBefore Starlink agreed to comply with the orders to block X, the telecommunications regulator for Brazil, Anatel, had threatened sanctions against the company.
