Mix and match speed of light
Elon Musk’s X is now banned in Brazil
While the Supreme Court of a large country banning a social network sounds a bit excessive (as if such a thing could happen here), the story of how it happened does not cast X and Musk in a positive light.

Therefore, X is now banned in Brazil.
