Did a stan account you know and love come out as Brazilian today? You’re not alone. Per reports from the Associated Press and local outlet Poder360, a Brazilian Supreme Court justice ordered the suspension of X in Brazil on Friday after a monthslong dispute with owner Elon Musk about free speech, social-media misinformation, and controversial right-wing accounts. What does this mean for all your favorite Brazil-run fanbases, celebrity updates accounts, and archives of pop culture gifs and memes? Beyond the ban, judge Alexandre de Moraes’s ruling will reportedly set a daily fine of around $8,900 on anyone who tries to access the X app via VPN, starting next week. We doubt anyone feels the urge to tweet “come to Brazil” that badly. So, @21metgala and multiple other fan-favorite accounts from the most populous country in South America began making goodbye posts today to informing their followers of what they hope will be a temporary departure. “twitter losing brazil is like thanos erasing half of earth’s population wtf,” one user tweeted in reaction to the wave of goodbyes. If we’re sticking to the Marvel metaphor, that means they’ll come back, right? Right? Below, more reactions to the casualties of this digital purge.
