I’m glad I don’t live in Brazil. Why ban X? It makes no sense.

Because X is not complying with the law in that country.

Whether the law is right or not is irrelevant. You either comply or leave.

Wow sounds totalitarian. Maybe it’s for the best that Musk disassociates with Brazil.

The foundation of any society are rules.

So unless you think every society is totalitarian your point makes no sense.

The dictatorship of those who think differently than I do.

Someone from Brazil is saying they have a dictatorship right now so I guess it’s more complicated than that.
