X has been banned in Brazil—and stan accounts are lamenting the loss.
Accounts started by fans of Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, and Cardi B bid adieu to the social media platform, with many using the hashtag, #MyLastTweet.

A Supreme Court judge in Brazil blocked the app after Elon Musk failed to appoint a legal representative for the country, and didn’t pay owed fines for breaking Brazilian laws. Musk responded to the ban on X, writing, “The oppressive regime in Brazil is so afraid of the people learning the truth that they will bankrupt anyone who tries,” he wrote on Friday.
The judge also announced that anyone caught using the platform with a VPN will be fined R$50,000 (USD $8,911) per day. According to BBC, companies like Apple and Google now have five days to remove X from its app stores and restrict it on iOS and Android systems.
The official X account also tweeted on Friday, “Power to the people in [Brazil] & everywhere else.”
