Brazil's Judiciary minister calling on Elon to summon a legal representative in Brazil in 24 hours or else Xuitter will be suspended in Brazil
They have no legal team in Brazil, Elon laid off all the Brazilian staff a few days ago to try to get media attention
God please let it happen it would be so funny

For the next days Anatel and the ISPs will have to block access to Xuitter. The only real bad news to me (personally) is that they're planning on fining the use of VPN¹ so I won't be able to even minimally use it like I was planning to, unfortunately the clout IS a thing as much as I despise it. It would also be the way for other artists to keep around.
Anyways, now either The Rocket Guy goes back with the tail between his legs and provides a legal representative and what was demanded and he refused to do so, like what happened to Telegram not that long ago, or Brazil is out of Xuitter.
Just to be safe, check on your Brazilian oomfies you follow there, particularly artists who probably had a good amount of their income come directly or indirectly from there. Follow them on other socials.
1 - I don't think this is enforceable, but it's probably there so high profile influencers don't incentivize the usage of these methods. But at any rate I'm not risking it for now
