    not sure what everyone’s so excited about “The X service remains available to the people of Brazil, the platform said on Saturday.”

    seems like they’re just closing their offices so they don’t get fined or arrested

      true, but they had a local presence for reasons that benefited them; legal, operational, commercial, strategic, whatever. So I’ll take it as good news.

      What’s going to happen the next time the government or judges called them from something? They don’t respond and the judge are going to order the ISP to stop forward data from and to them, blocking them on Brazil. It’s not even going to be the first time, brazillian judges have had fights with whatapp before, and for a couple of days whataap have been blocked. Whatapp move like 10% of the Brazilian economy, so it was solved quickly, Twitter is nowhere as relevant and nobody is going to care when its end blocked.

      Complete X ban doesn’t seem too far-fetched to me after this, as they have closed the offices, they won’t be able to moderate stuff…
