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??

Simply monitor traffic to known-VPNs. Anyone sending/receiving traffic from there is a VPN user. They likely cannot track anything inside the VPN, but that is probably enough for a country that is censoring its peoples.
