Does anyone know where we can find a copy of the official order? So far, I only found the previous one (<a href="https://noticias.stf.jus.br/postsnoticias/stf-intima-elon-musk-e-x-a-indicarem-representante-legal-em-ate-24-horas-sob-pena-de-suspensao-de-atividades-no-brasil/" rel="nofollow">https://noticias.stf.jus.br/postsnoticias/stf-intima-elon-mu...</a> has a link to it).<p>(The twitter link isn't working for me, it only shows an error message followed by a reload link, so I don't know whether it has a link to a copy of the official order.)
I see a lot of commenters here holding up Brazil's actions to an American yardstick. If you want to do buisiness abroad you have to follow their rules and their norms. They may well have the legal right to revoke charters, size assetts or more in persuit of the collection of a fine. The Oglobo article makes clear they have violated the law. <a href="https://oglobo.globo.com/politica/noticia/2024/08/29/moraes-bloqueia-contas-da-starlink-no-brasil-por-falta-de-representante-do-x.ghtml" rel="nofollow">https://oglobo.globo.com/politica/noticia/2024/08/29/moraes-...</a>
Why do we care?<p>If Starlink/Twitter/X doesn’t want to do business in BR or comply with local laws, then they are bound to suffer consequences (losing audience or assets seized).
