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??

You don’t have to, just prove that a Brazilian living in Brazil made a tweet while they’re in Brazil. That means you just need to have their twitter account that is undeniably theirs and have their travel records that prove they’re within the country when the tweet is made.

No need to catch every last one of them, just the few dumb enough to get caught doing so. Most people won’t climb a low fence just because they can
