      Can’t really do that when his shit is quite literally in space floating above your country in orbit.

          Welcome to the world where money has more power than laws and governments. It’ll all work out fine, I’m sure.

          Yeah the Brazilian space police is gonna shoot down them satellites.

          And then they will clean up the fueltas.

          I love fairytales about competence in Brazil.

            It most probably can work directly with satellites, but I don’t think some user is going to put the effort into setting up a direct system (∵ high cost), just to use the bloated site, X is (∵ low throughput internet).

        His shit is also on the ground. Do you think the satellites beam an internet connection directly into a laptop or something? That said, finding and seizing the individual receivers seems unlikely. They’ve already instituted a hefty fine (equivalent to more a year’s average salary) for even using a VPN to little effect.

        Beyond that, they’ve also threatened to seize all local assets/offices and emplacements if Starlink doesn’t comply. There’s several dozen as I recall.

          My sweet child, do you think cocaine just appears? No, they need massive farms to produce. Brazil can’t even crack down on literal acres of fields of coca plants. You think they’re going to find some inconspicuous boxes that receive internet from space?

          Also do you think your router is just a plastic box with magic inside?
