Brazil banned Twitter due to allegations of engaging in criminal activities. Market research showed that around 40 million Brazilians used Twitter monthly. Other countries like Russia, China, and Pakistan also banned Twitter, with reasons ranging from national security to political dissent. Moscow blocked Twitter in 2022, following the invasion of Ukraine. Pakistan's ban was due to security concerns, while China has a long-standing ban on Twitter. These cases illustrate the varying reasons countries restrict access to social media platforms.
