Brazilian users of the social network were able to access it on Wednesday, after the company found a solution to avoid the block imposed by Judge Moraes.
Social network X has stopped working again in Brazil this Thursday. During the day yesterday, they announced that there was could be used after the blockade imposed by the Brazilian government, but, unfortunately for the users of the platform, It didn’t last long.
The Brazilian justice system has ordered the popular social network, whose owner is the tycoon Elon Muskstop using the cybersecurity service that allowed it to avoid its suspension in the country. “Just before 4:00 p.m. X himself stopped using the Cloudflare service,” so the platform “is blocked”said the advisor of the Brazilian Association of Internet and Telecommunications Providers.
The old Twitter was back on Wednesday partially accessible in Brazil, after having been suspended on August 30 by the Supreme Court due to judicial non-compliance, and began to use the services of Cloudflarea cybersecurity company, said Abrint’s advisor, Rodríguez Pérez.
X became available again thanks to a change ”in its structure”, but only for a short time
“The X app was updated (…) overnight, resulting in a significant change in its structure“That modification “made the blockade much more difficult,” he had indicated. Abrint in a statement posted on its website.
The latest version of the app “no longer connects directly to X over X’s own networks, accessed through Cloudflare” Perez. According to Abrint, this company allows the internet ip addresses are constantly changing, which makes it more difficult block them if they are specific IPs.
The Brazilian courts therefore decided to act quickly and ordered the company to stop enabling the use of the platform through Cloudfare.
Fines for violating the blockade
He Supreme Federal Court (STF) told AFP that it was “checking information about access to X by some users.” On the other hand, the Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraesordered the blocking of the network, owned by Elon Musk, accusing it of violating court orders to suspend accounts accused of disinformation and refuse to appoint a legal representative in Brazil.
By blocking the network, Moraes warned the 22 million users of the platform in Brazil, that whoever violates the order by accessing the platform through “subterfuges” such as virtual private networks (VPN), exposes themselves to fines daily of US$9,000.
