Platform X Kembali Adakan Untuk Banyak Pengguna Di Brasil Setelah Pembaruan Jaringan

JAKARTA Social media users in Brazil can again access platform X (previously known as Twitter) on Wednesday, September 18 following an update of a communication network that managed to overcome a blocking order issued by the Brazilian Supreme Court. This access comes after platform X was previously blocked for more than a month due to disputes between owner X, Elon Musk, and Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes.

Last month, Brazil's Supreme Court ordered internet and telecommunications service providers in Brazil to block access to platform X, which was then carried out within hours. However, on Wednesday, many Brazilians had their access restored, with some celebrating what they called Elon Musk's maneuver to ignore the law.

However, platform X explains that this access recovery was accidental. In an official statement from the Global Affairs X team, it was stated that the network provider update that occurred due to infrastructure blocking in Latin America had resulted in an "unintentional and temporary service recovery" for users in Brazil.

Transfer Through Third Party Cloud Services

According to the Brazilian Internet and Telecommunications Providers Association (Abrint), this recovered access is due to a network X update that diverts some users in Brazil through third-party cloud services abroad, allowing them to access the platform without requiring the use of VPN (Virtual Private Network).

However, this access will most likely be blocked again in the near future. Brazil's telecommunications regulator, Anatel, is working to notify network providers and telecommunications companies to block access back to platform X, although it is not yet clear how long it will take to enforce the order.

According to Basilio Perez, board member Abrint, blocking involving cloud access is very complex and risks disrupting critical services, such as those used by government agencies and financial service providers. Therefore, any order from Anatel to update access blocking must be carefully formulated so as not to cause unwanted impact on other essential services.

This development highlights the challenges faced by Brazilian authorities in managing internet access, particularly those involving global technology and service providers.
