The actual reason is Twitter is helping propagate disinformation and online platforms should be moderated, actually The actual reason, if you look at the fundamental aspects on a non-partisan basis, is that X refused to ban the accounts of the ruling party's political opposition, and while X tried to argue their case in court: When we attempted to defend ourselves in court, Judge de Moraes threatened our Brazilian legal representative with imprisonment.

Not really the point, you're still celebrating the government shutdown of a communication platform based on its unwillingness to censor specific political opponents or opinions. Is that really what's best for the people of Brazil? 40 million people use X in that country. The government will impose fines on those people if they use a VPN to access the site. That's not a good thing. Any website that actively has well known people posting pedophilia unbanned getting banned should inherently be viewed as best for a country. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?
