Super cool that Brazil has banned X.
These are the types of actions that truly wake people up on how extremely weak their social media presence is.
Discussion
Worst part is not even the network itself, couldn’t care less and much prefer nostr.
It’s the people that are there and that now will be out of our reach. I’m not going to fucking instagram
Still not getting my contacts to migrate to delete Telegram. They think it’s a cartoon
Not cool, but expected
The best action they can take is to delete account and remove X. Useless.
Predict a big migration to decentralizaded social media like Norst and Fediverse.

How hard will it be to get information from your isp and your IP connection to either TOR or Nostr known relays?
Very easy. ISPs can see connections into Tor if you don't use a VPN from your device.
so for us normies who run orbot, how are we to run a VPN along side that on a mobile device?
VPNs have even more popular IPs. Especially if you use Nord or express.
Sounds like a big red flag in the VPN/ISP/DNS/Government log.
Is there any real way to privacy/anonymity?
it’s not super cool, but proves my earlier take:

It doesn't work that way. Forbidden fruit is sweet.
This is true.
But it's time to act. Those who have their #X accounts still active, go and help direct your fellow Brazilians to nostr. Invite them as a final act of X contact. Then meet them chilling out here :)
X banned in Brazil, dictatorship is about to begin
X and Instagram both banned in Russia, people still use them anyway. Even the most tech illitirate normies figured out how to run VPN on their phones, so generally ban means nothing.
True, censorship by the platform itself is more insidious
Indeed.
Imagine a free and open internet.
