Objectively, if Twitter is banned in your country, you were not given a choice in the matter.

That wasn't the claim. The claim was that people aren't leaving voluntarily, which simply isn't true. Lots of people have voluntarily left Twitter since Musk took over (About 23% DAU, a ~50 million drop) and that's before Brazil banned it

That people are also leaving because of twitter being banned in their country isn't relevant to the original claim
