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

People used it to organize an attempted coup against a democratically elected government and twitter is not cooperating with the investigation.

Coup not election and if they don't cooperate with an investigation of an attempt to subvert the election with violence, they might not.
