Anyone with half a brain will just use a VPN. Just saying.
#BREAKING: Brazil's Supreme Court says anyone using VPN to access Twitter/X is subject to fines up to $8,874 a day - https://nitter.poast.org/rawsalerts/status/1829613884929393031
Easy to work around:
If your account is known to be brazillian (eg: you used a brazil cell #, you said you were brazillian, and your account can be traced to you). don't use it the account. Create a new account.
if your account is unknown as brazillian yet (you use email, you never said you were brazillian, account can't be traced to you). Use the VPN.
be sure to test your VPN so it's not leaking at places like: https://www.expressvpn.com/dns-leak-test , https://firstpartysimulator.org/ , https://ipleak.net/ , https://www.expressvpn.com/dns-leak-test , https://www.expressvpn.com/webrtc-leak-test , https://ipx.ac/run , https://dnsleaktest.com/ , https://browserleaks.com/webrtc ,
This is probably going to be relevant in the US at some point soon, Iād guess.

He's a commie.
The antithesis of a nazi.
Go study history again.
how will they know if using starlink?
Erm awkward, if one is a corporation using VPN for firewall and effective spam elimination reasons. Perhaps the rich will be able to afford the fines? So - rules for thee, but our (very important) corporate can pay for having a VPN. LOL sowing division some more.
My theory is that human nature will continue to find ways to subvert the 'authorities' when the latter get too repressive, and there is a natural progression towards nothing left to lose, time to lose it in the streets - i.e., riots, more violence and eventually, bloody revolution. The 'authorities' then try to crack down even more, and fill up the jails and there is a civil-war death-spiral for the nation, as all the fightingest and loudest (e.g. normal construction workers and teachers) are locked up, or worse, killed.
Will the Brazilians use alternative Social Media? Maybe they adapt and will use WeChat, Tictoc, Discord or Telegram, Instagram or whatever. So in effect, taking out Twitter will just devolve to many competitors in that space. Problem categorically Not Solved. People will find a way to talk to each other. Some have huge followings and they will just take their audience elsewhere. The 'authorities' can only clamp down on social interaction so much, even if it comes down to strange low-tech activisim such as silently passing small stamp-sized slips of paper, hidden from surveillance cameras, with a dark-web-address or just a QR code on it. PErhaps people will get tattoos to be photographed for secret messages. The 'authorities' will then try and control that activity. Etc.
Apparently I don't have half a brain because I have no idea what you mean by VPN.
virtual private network
Anyone that can afford a fine of $9000/day
