SAO PAULO (AP) — Elon Musk’s satellite-based internet service provider Starlink has backtracked and announced it will comply with a Brazilian Supreme Court justice’s order to block the billionaire’s social media platform, X.

Previously, it informally told the telecommunications regulator that it would not comply until de Moraes reversed course.
