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??

In many ways it dosent matter. The threat alone if enough for some and for others a vpn is way to technical for them to set up.
Most people don’t use a vpn to access the Internet so a country level block will stop the majority of access.
