Elon Musk The social network of x Using a technical method Brazil Despite the ban imposed by the Supreme Court, it has become accessible again to the people there Pakistan So far, no such action has come out from his side on the ban imposed from February 2024.
According to the New York Times, X was back online on Wednesday after being blocked for three weeks in Brazil. The restoration was done by rerouting Internet traffic through Cloudflare, a major Internet infrastructure provider, but Brazil’s telecommunications regulator Anatel plans to block access to X again.
The legal dispute began when Brazil’s Supreme Court banned X because the company did not comply with court orders to delete certain accounts and then closed its offices in Brazil.
In response, Elon Musk’s satellite internet provider Starlink initially offered a solution to the problem but later backed out, fearing its license in Brazil would be revoked.
X’s recent strategy of rerouting traffic through Cloudflare provided a short-term solution, but Brazilian authorities are now working to block X’s traffic more effectively, and Anatel has provided local internet providers. Providers have been instructed to block access to X again in the country from Thursday (September 19).

X is widely used in Brazil and is an important means of communication, especially as a means for politicians to present their views and criticize their rivals. X has about 40 million monthly users in the country.
While X’s actions in Brazil show its ongoing resistance to national laws, Pakistan has seen no such response or technical steps by the company to address the problems faced by its customers.
Despite the government ban in Brazil, access to X is possible because it seems to have become a personal issue, as Elon Musk has criticized not only the Supreme Court judge, but also the actions of the Brazilian government. have been
In one of his posts, Musk wrote about the judge of the Brazilian Supreme Court that “Alexander de Morais is an evil dictator, who has disguised himself as a judge.” They do not meet the professional standards of a judge.’
Reacting to news of X’s closure, Elon Musk tweeted: ‘Freedom of expression is the bedrock of democracy and an unelected fake judge in Brazil is destroying it for political purposes.’
He later added: ‘The oppressive government in Brazil is so afraid of the public knowing the truth that it will bankrupt anyone who tries.’
On the other hand, this type of situation is not visible in the case of Pakistan. A case is pending in the Sindh High Court against the lack of direct access to X in Pakistan.
In a hearing on September 12, 2024 Pakistan Telecommunication A lawyer for the authority (PTA) confirmed before the judge the withdrawal of X’s closure notification.
Lawyer PTA Ahsan Imam told the court that ‘in the application, in which I am the lawyer, the notification of closure of X has been withdrawn.’
However, the female spokesperson of PTA, Malahat, told Independent Urdu correspondent on the phone Mohammed Al-Aas confirmed that X is not accessible in Pakistan under government directives.
No court in Pakistan has issued any order against X, on the other hand, no statement has come out from Elon Musk or X about the ongoing ban in Pakistan, which makes the situation here look completely different from Brazil. .
