Brazilian authorities are imposing nearly $1 million in daily fines on Elon Musk's X and Starlink for alleged ban evasion.

• In Brazil, Elon Musk's X and Starlink are being fined $5 million reals ($920,000) daily for alleged ban evasion tactics by X.
• Despite a nationwide suspension, people in Brazil were able to access the site because X used dynamic internet protocol addresses.
• In August, Brazil's supreme court suspended X nationwide due to a violation of federal laws.

In Brazil, Elon Musk's X is being fined daily for allegedly circumventing a ban on the service, as stated by the supreme court on Thursday.

The fines imposed by Brazil's supreme court (Supremo Tribuno Federal or STF) amount to $5 million in Brazilian reals, or about $920,000, per day. The court has decided to continue imposing "joint liability" on Starlink, the satellite internet service owned and operated by SpaceX, Musk's aerospace venture.

In September, the Brazilian court upheld the suspension of X, which was initially ordered by Chief Justice Alexandre de Moraes at the end of August. The court found that under Musk, X had violated Brazilian law, requiring social media companies to appoint a legal representative in the country and remove hate speech and other harmful content. Additionally, the court found that X failed to suspend accounts that were allegedly involved in doxxing federal officers.

Recently, X migrated to servers hosted by and utilized dynamic internet protocol addresses that frequently alter, allowing numerous users in Brazil to access the site. Prior to this setup, the company employed static and particular IP addresses in Brazil, which were more easily obstructed by internet service providers at the behest of regulators.

For months, Musk, the owner of the company previously known as Twitter, has been attacking de Moraes, even after the order was issued. He has labeled de Moraes as a villain, comparing him to Darth Vader and the Harry Potter character Voldemort. Furthermore, Musk has repeatedly called for de Moraes to be impeached.

Starlink will now face new fines from Brazil, which will begin on Sept. 19 and be calculated based on the number of days of non-compliance with earlier orders to suspend X nationwide.

Although Musk claims to be a staunch advocate for free speech, X has complied with demands to remove profiles and posts in countries such as India, Turkey, and Hungary.

On Wednesday, Correio Braziliense reported that X has begun blocking accounts in compliance with suspension orders issued by Brazil's supreme court.

Some internet influencers who are reportedly being investigated for spreading misinformation and promoting attacks against democratic institutions in Brazil were among the apparently banned accounts.

X said it wasn't intending to restore access for Brazilian users.

"In Brazil, when X was shut down, our team no longer had access to our infrastructure for providing service to Latin America. To ensure optimal service to our users, we switched network providers. This change temporarily restored service to Brazilian users, but we anticipate it to be inaccessible again soon. We are working with the Brazilian government to quickly return to the platform for the benefit of the Brazilian people."

Anatel, Brazil's national telecommunication agency, has been instructed by de Moraes to restrict access to the platform by blocking Cloudflare, EdgeUno servers, and any other servers deemed to have been created to bypass a suspension of X in Brazil.

Authorities in Brazil are reportedly working with Cloudflare after a request for comment was made, but Cloudflare did not respond immediately.

According to Data Reportal, X had an estimated 22 million users in Brazil before the suspension.
