It was released in top secret and also without affording Starlink any of the due process of rule promised due to the Constitution of Brazil. Our company mean to take care of the concern legally, Starlink pointed out in its statement.Musk replied to folks discussing the records of the freeze, adding insults driven at de Moraes.
