Brazil Suspends X Platform Amid NFL Game Coverage
News summary

The upcoming NFL game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers in São Paulo faces significant challenges due to a recent ban on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) in Brazil, affecting approximately 22 million users. The ban, ordered by a Brazilian Supreme Court justice due to the platform's failure to combat misinformation, limits reporters' ability to share live updates from the game. Journalists must adapt by using alternative platforms such as Threads, Instagram, or relying on family members to post updates from afar. Some reporters, like Zach Berman from PHLY, are shifting to video updates on YouTube while others are preparing to create live blogs. The NFL will continue to post about the game on its U.S. accounts but will refrain from using its Brazilian X account. This ban could hinder the typical fan engagement and coverage expected for this historic game, the league's first regular season contest in South America.
