How would Brazil’s police be able to tell if someone is using a VPN to access Twitter/X?

I recently saw that in Brazil, people who use VPNs to access X/Twitter after the ban could apparently be fined. I’m no expert whatsoever, but isn’t the whole point of VPNs to encrypt all of your activity? If so, how would the offenders, so to speak, even be caught and fined??

If they know your Twitter account is from a brazilian person and you post in there, then it’s obvious how that happened. 😛

Don’t worry too much though. They’re looking for the users that X didn’t block as requested. Those are the ones who will probably be fined, if at all. They do want to put pressure on X to fix their shit though and a general threat do make people avoid the site. 😛
