In case you have heard that @X has closed its office in Brazil, that Brazilian Supreme Court (@STF_oficial) ordered to imprison one of Twitter's executives and you are wondering what is going on in Brazil, here is a brief ?
Spoiler: it is likely @X will be blocked soon in Brazil

Twitter explicitly evaded the subpoenas issued by @STF_oficial and decided to close its office in Brazil, to “protect employees”.

With no ?? office, no one can be held liable for failure to comply with subpoenas, as they explicitly point out in this posthttps://t.co/bNmwbfripy

Twitter is betting that users will be furious and will put political pressure on the Supreme Court, evoking censorship and authoritarianism. This is probably true, although it is highly unlikely that twitter users’ protest will be heard if @X will be blocked…
