Probably because those devices are certified with the appropriate agency, while this one is not. At least according to the article. > Multiple people in Brazil who purchased the Flipper Zero hacking tool have reported that their shipments are being redirected to Brazil's telecommunications agency, Anatel, due to a lack of certification with the country's Radio Frequencies department. > Because Flipper Devices INC is not certified in Brazil according to this standard, it's not allowed to circulate freely in the Brazilian market. Makes sense, devices have to be properly certified, if they are not, they're illegal. Seems like it has nothing to do with the "hacking" abilities of the device.
