Wasn't X banned in Brazil because the government wanted to censor people who were critical of the government, and X said "we're not going to do that"?

It was banned because twitter failed to appoint a legal representative, a condition of doing business in Brazil. Failing to appoint a legal representative is kind of like sticking your fingers in your ears 'nya nya nya nya' and hoping your problems go away. They didn't.

Not to defend musk, but wasn't this because they threatened to arrest the legal representative so they got recalled back to the states?

That's what happened from what I heard.
