They can't sell Brazilian ads to Brazilians, as that needs an office/presence in Brazil. This hurts the value of ads that Xitter can charge when dealing with users in Brazil (Brazil is the largest economy in South America, and with Xitter already having ad money problems, it isn't a good thing for them.)

So while they could still show ads to Brazilians, the fact is it would be for companies with offices outside Brazil, something not many would care about.

Good. Let’s hope the public moves to mastodon.

They'll move to Threads or Bluesky long before they even think of saying the word mastodon

That makes sense. Thanks a lot for the explanation!
