Sooo... *is* #xitter really going to shut down in Brazil? I understand a court has ruled that it must, but... what levers do they actually have to enforce that?
Wasn't a big part of the dispute s/t like "hey, you need to have a presence in Brazil, with employees we can arrest, and you don't have that"?
Well, what I can tell you is that Brazil successfully blocked Telegram for 2 days in March 2022 until Telecom complied. I don't know how, but they did.

@arthurpendragon @rpardee they do it by getting Internet service providers to block access
And set fines if they don't as well as doing same with app stores who'll have to remove any app, like X, or face fines - daily fines as well
@ecksmc @rpardee
Got it. Thanks for explaining.
