Elon Musk finds a (temporary) way around Brazil’s ban on X | Parami News

The Brazilian authorities were not winning this battle with Elon Musk, at least for the time being, and it is ‘one up’ for him. On Wednesday, X, hi s social network, was unblocked immediately for a large number of users in Brazil after three weeks of inactivity which was ordered by order of the Supreme Court of Brazil.

So what happened? X managed a re-routing of its internet traffic bypassing the recent restrictions placed upon them by the Brazilian internet providers. Affairs were forgotten as the President of the country’s telecommunications overturning, Anatel, revealing the circumstances tuned in and dictated that civil order would be restored in the near future back again. The above announced further development showed ever the more that Elon Musk is far from conceding to the authorities in Brazil – making it a new hurdle for trans-border operations of business in the conflict between internet corporations and state powers.

The SC of Brazil blocked X as the company refused to comply with orders regarding the deletion of some accounts. It was later that hour when, another company controlled by Elon Musk was making scandalising announcements over the X platform, Starlink, a satellite-internet service provider registered in Toluca, told Brazilian regulators that it would keep providing X to Brazilians. In the end, Starlink reversed their position after it became apparent that the regulators would provide latitude for the company’s continued license within Brazil. The new strategy of the X company involves the use of Cloudflare, a United States based internet infrastructure provider, for access to its webpage from Brazilian region.

Cloudflare is much more than a business that aids routing website traffic and therefore its ban in Brazil would create a great rethink for 200 million internet users in the country. Imagine if X’s car was impounded in Brazil and so it started using taxis: Google. It is just now that the regulators are thinking of asking Google to stop operating. Cloudflare powers more than 24 million websites, of which the Brazilian government websites constitute a fraction.

Anatel state has maintained that Cloudflare had consented to cut off all access to X information and isolate all information from X. As stated by X, this X-cloud move came after they had received too much criticism about the calm down regime during the protest in Brazil which affected their broadband usage in the Latin America region. This change caused for a noticeable and unintentional and short-term account restoration in working conditions for the users in Brazil.
