Brazilians seek out social-media alternatives after ban on Elon Musk’s X

Brazil's Supreme Court shut down Elon Musk's social media platform, X, causing many Brazilians to migrate to other apps such as Bluesky and Threads. Some Brazilians viewed the court's ban as undemocratic, while others believed it was necessary due to the platform's issues with fake news and bots.
