Nothing exactly new. Brazilian laws allow court orders that remove online content in case of hate speech, defamation, threatenings or for the benefit of some ongoing investigation. The only new thing is that in recent years, several far right activists were targeted by investigation, related with a botched coup attempt which was equivalent to the capitolio invasion in the USA. Then, several of them are denouncing this as "censorship", even if in the past the same laws were used by Bolsonaro and far right activists to remove content in the Internet, as when someone threatened the ex-president online. Musk joined them, and begun ignoring court orders, despite complying with equivalent court orders from other countries. After ignoring several court orders, Twitter had to withdraw from the country to do not face legal consequences. About VPN: As far as I know, there is no previous case in Brazil where VPN services were targeted. Apple do not have a huge market share in Brazil (just 16.54% for iOS), so it would be very strange trying to block something there. I do not think that blocking VPN makes any sense and I would wait for Apple pronouncement before suggesting "censorship" or something like this.
