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

552 viewsOtherTechnology

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??

Well, if you know they were in Brazil at the time they posted or responded to a post or a DM on X, you’d know they broke the law.

I don’t think this is the kind of law you enforce as it’s happening, this is the sort of thing that gets tacked on later when investigators upend your life for some other reason.
