Brazil's Supreme Court has issued a secret order that has frozen the finances of Starlink, the satellite internet company. As a result, Starlink is currently barred from conducting any financial transactions within Brazil.

The order was handed down without providing Starlink any of the due process rights guaranteed under the Brazilian constitution. The company is now prepared to challenge the court's ruling through legal means.

Despite the financial freeze, Starlink assures its users that it is doing everything possible to ensure their internet service remains uninterrupted in Brazil.
