I read this to mean that they actively looked for a way to circumvent the current Brazilian ISPs and knew this would happen. It’s a FU to Brazilian authorities.

as I understand it (correct me if Im wrong), the ISPs cant block it anymore; they would to have block cloudflare (?) which would mean roughly a third of the internet would be down?

It sounds like they were blocking by IP addresses rather than domain names, so when X went behind Cloudflare’s reverse proxy, the traffic was going to Cloudflare’s IP addresses, through the proxy and then to X.
Any bets that there aren’t gaping holes in the blocks in IPv6? (An expanded addressing scheme that everyone should have switched to a long time ago. It’s complicated.)
