Elon Musk’s internet service, Starlink, has announced that it will comply with a Brazil supreme court order to shut down X, but it has vowed to pursue “all legal avenues” to allow the recently banned Musk-owned social media platform to operate in Brazil.

The move, announced by Starlink in a statement on Sept. 3, is an apparent reversal after the country’s telecommunications regulator previously said that the satellite-based internet provider stated that it wouldn’t agree to block the social media platform.
