Aw. Do us next please.
Kind regards,

USA next. If we can ban TikTok, we can do Twitter too!
Ugh, TikTok isn’t banned in the US…
No, but they have been trying to ban it.
Until they do, your statement doesn’t make sense lol
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.
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”.
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.
…and nothing of value was lost
Except the jobs of all those Brazilian employees
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.
Congrats, Brazil!!
Brazil is based for once
How do we get some of them Brazilian content orders here in the states?
goodbye removed!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷
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
That makes sense. Thanks a lot for the explanation!
Lucky Brazil!

A failed online back, then nothing for 20 years, and then it ate Twitter.
