Moraes also ordered that those using "technological subterfuges" such as virtual private networks (VPNs) to access the blocked site could be fined up to $9,000.

Don't know exactly the beef between musk and the judge but this surely is overreach and abuse of power

Dynamic IPs protect users as well as services. Each time you re/boot your router, you get a new IP address. This makes it tougher for hackers to target you.

Any company with frozen assets in Brazil should cut off all clients for 1 day. Let the customer's know. Then let the people discuss the issue with their govt and the judge. Disconnect service every other day until the uninvolved companies assets aren't hindered anymore.

It is one thing to hold the company responsible for violating laws accountable. Holding a completely different company accountable for the actions of the other is crazy. It has to be illegal and if it isn't, then you know it is a dictatorship. Show me the Brazilian law that says freezing assets of completely A for the actions of company B is legal. Not possible. It doesn't exist. If company A didn't do anything illegal those assents can't be frozen.

Being unhappy with a major stakeholder is one thing. Hold him in contempt as an officer of the company (assuming he is). Start seizing Twitter assets and selling them if they are in Brazil to pay the fines. Great. The limit is tied to Twitter.

Dynamic IPs protect users as well as services. Each time you re/boot your router, you get a new IP address. This makes it tougher for hackers to target you.

If you're x or any other service you don't want to be tougher to be found. The opposite actually, you want users to easily find you. That's why servers use static IPs.

The problem in this case is that Brazil ordered the ISPs to block the servers and it's easy to do by blocking the servers' static IPs.

So they went around this blocking by using a pool of blocks or ranges or IPs. Of course it's not harder to block a range of IPs except by doing so it will also block certain IPs within the range that are used by other services like banks or other platforms as mentioned I'm the article

It will be possible to get around the block on X in Brazil for the determined and the technically savvy, but what's the point, when all of your country people have moved to somewhere else?
