Why? This seems to have been very effective in both accomplishing the court’s goals in this case, and improving life in Brazil a bit in general.

So, Estonia should be able to block anyone in the world that says anything about Estonia with low sentiment, for example?
If they so wish, Estonia is a sovereign country, they can block any company they want; they just need to pass a law to say so (provided of course it doesn't conflict with other laws they have).
No, Estonia in this example requires people in the USA to not talk about Estonia negatively amongst themselves.

Yep. Just as Musk's buddies Xi and Putin block twitter. So can Estonia.
You are completely missing the point. Putin and Xi cannot block Twitter in America. They cannot prevent two Americans living in the US from talking to each other negatively about Russia.
Elon is not blocking Brazilian internet traffic to X. He is removing their assets from the country physically, from the article it looks like that means divesting of legal resources

Brazil's Supreme Court, where Moraes has a seat, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
