The whole thing with twitter being blocked is that it all stems from twitter, and especially Elon, being asked to deal with misinformation from right-wing groups. Including ones within Brazil.

Elon refused, threw a tantrum and shut down twitter's brazilian headquarters.

That had the domino effect of twitter being blocked because, from what i know, companies cannot operate in Brazil without legal representation. Their office in brazil being shut down means they dont have that there.

TL;DR Twitter is blocked in Brazil because Elon would rather lose the sites 4th largest user base, by country, than shut down right-wing propaganda and lies

1) I'm not American

2) Why are you assuming I'm white?

3) I wouldn't have commented what I know unless I'd actually done some research. There are very few things, to me, that are worse than being ignorant about a topic I'm speaking on.

It's ironic that you say others are stupid yet you made yourself look foolish

Suponho que você seja brasileiro, pois tem gente sem noção que diz as mesmas coisas por aqui. Se esse for o caso, peço que pesquise mais sobre o assunto. Elon Musk questionou ordens monocráticas e ilegalmente sigilosas. Quando fez isso, Alexandre disse que haveria consequências se não obedecesse essas ordens. Elon removeu a sede do X do Brasil, porque eles sofreriam as punições. Infelizmente, isso é motivo para bloquear uma plataforma. Alexandre não quer acabar com a desinformação, ele quer oprimir um lado político de forma sigilosa e sem consequências. Se realmente quisesse combater a desinformação, teria agido conforme a lei pede. Alem disso, teria derrubado fake news de ambos os lados. Ao invés disso, ele derruba tudo que é da direita política, sendo falso ou não.

The other TLDR, governments trying to filter veiws they don't like or run counter to it's own news tried to control discourse again with Brazil's government being notoriously corrupt.
