Hopefully it is first brick in the wall, after Brazil finds it did not collapse due to absence of twitter

Unless Twitter geoblocks Brazil or bans all users who set their country to Brazil it will not be absent there. As far as I can tell Twitter doesn’t use country specific tlds or subdomains, so nothing will materially change for Brazilian users.

As someone who has some social media including Twitter geoblocked… No, this is not enough to make a social media die down in a region lol

This is true. I guess I should have said “Unless twitter geoblocks or bans Brazilian users, they’re not even making an attempt to be absent there”.
USA next. If we can ban TikTok, we can do Twitter too!

As someone who hates corporate social media (and TikTok especially), I can’t figure out if banning TikTok is a legit security issue or racist. I’d love to see it go, but I can’t seem to form an opinion on the matter despite reading up on it several times.

You’re right, it was a bit too off the cuff of a remark. Though I can’t imagine they’ve had fun there since the Muppet took over. Can you imagine being the poor bastard who had to tell Phony Stark about this whole thing? They probably had to remind him that their office existed only to have him sack everyone.

For everyone that interpreted this as saying that X will be banned here: It won’t. X will still work. But all X staff in Brazil were laid off.

Does this harm twitter in any way?
I mean, if they are still reachable and usable in Brazil, they can still serve ads to those users and so it seems their business doesnt change much?
But there must have been some advantage for twitter in having an office there, otherwise they wouldnt have opened it in the first place.

They can’t sell Brazilian ads to Brazilians, as that needs an office/presence in Brazil. This hurts the value of ads that Xitter can charge when dealing with users in Brazil (Brazil is the largest economy in South America, and with Xitter already having ad money problems, it isn’t a good thing for them.)
So while they could still show ads to Brazilians, the fact is it would be for companies with offices outside Brazil, something not many would care about.

Good. Let’s hope the public moves to mastodon.
They'll move to Threads or Bluesky long before they even think of saying the word mastodon
Brazil is based for once
goodbye removed!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Lucky Brazil!
