Elon Musk-controlled satellite internet provider Starlink has told Brazil’s telecom regulator Anatel it will not comply with a court order to block social media platform X in the country until its local accounts are unfrozen.
Anatel confirmed the information to Reuters on Monday after its head Carlos Baigorri told Globo TV it had received a note from Starlink, which has more than 200,000 customers in Brazil, and passed it onto Brazil’s top court.
Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes last week ordered all telecom providers in the country to shut down X, which is also owned by billionaire Musk, for lacking a legal representative in Brazil.
The move also led to the freezing of Starlink’s bank accounts in Brazil. Starlink is a unit of Musk-led rocket company SpaceX. The billionaire responded to the account block by calling Moraes a “dictator.”
It’s called the government cloud. Where do you think it runs. Amazon could bring a LOT of TLA agencies to their knees pretty quickly if they so chose
Certainly not on AWS ours does not. And even in the US I think the TLAs you might get are the likes of the DMV, not the FBI, or anything else even remotely connected to law enforcement or the military.
Literally on AWS ours does. Since 2014:
That’s why it’s in West Virginia
Neat.
The state has a monopoly on violence and infinite resources. Amazon is an upjumped bookstore.
You really are clueless.
Why don’t you go ask crowdstrike how easy it is to bring down enormous amounts of seemingly unconnected infrastructure .
