Elon Musk's X bypasses court-ordered blockade in Brazil

ai generated text

Brazil's Supreme Court ordered X (formerly Twitter) blocked nationwide on August 30, making it inaccessible in the country until a technical update was made. Experts found that X began routing users through Cloudflare's servers, allowing some users to access the platform. The update, which used cloud services from third-party providers, enabled Brazilian users to bypass the block by routing their traffic outside of the country. This move suggests that Elon Musk's X is not backing down in Brazil, despite the court order.

    1. I believe the change was probably intentional. Why would X use a third-party service that ends up being slower than its own?

    1. The service that Elon Musk's social network has started using works like a 'digital shield' that protects the company's servers.

    1. Under normal circumstances, anyone else who openly took active steps to obstruct judicial measures and investigations, as Musk is doing, would possibly have already had their arrest decreed in Brazil.
