Looks like they only use it in Brazil, everywhere else seems to resolve to regular Twitter IPs

Then our Supreme Court will have to issue a legal order to Cloudflare, which has representatives in Brazil, to block X nation-wide. Blocking Cloudflare itself wouldn't make any sense as our country systems themselves would get hurt and I don't think Cloudflare will deny such order.

I know, but I want Cloudflare to go down in a burst of flames, it makes web scraping such a pain, please do it Baldy.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'd say it's more likely that Cloudflare will receive a legal order to block X in Brazil.

Then Twitter can migrate to AWS CloudFront.

I doubt that any of those services would be willing to risk being fined or blocked in Brazil just to continue hosting X.com.

X is the first and only company willing to prioritize values over revenue in this case.

The real question is whether is whether it is right for the judges of a country to block access to a service that the countries depend on. For instance in the UK the government can stop local media from publishing news that is considered libellous or defamatory, or may unjustly influence court cases, but they can't stop citizens from accessing that information if it is published in a news outlet outside the country.…

> No one is questioning why the Brazilian judiciary should have that power.

Actually, millions of people are, and senators are seeking this judge's impeachment.
