From PC Mag: A simmering legal feud between Twitter/X and Brazil’s Supreme Court is causing problems for Elon Musk’s other major business in the country: SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet system.
SpaceX confirms that the country’s Supreme Court issued an order freezing Starlink’s finances, preventing it from conducting financial transactions in Brazil.
The court order is surprising since Starlink is an entirely different business from X (previously Twitter). Their main link is Musk, who owns X and is CEO of SpaceX. Still, Brazil’s high court Judge Alexandre de Moraes decided to sanction Starlink in an apparent attempt to force X to comply with Brazilian law.
In response, Starlink tweeted: "This order is based on an unfounded determination that Starlink should be responsible for the fines levied—unconstitutionally—against X. It was issued in secret and without affording Starlink any of the due process of law guaranteed by the Constitution of Brazil. We intend to address the matter legally."
