The ongoing absurdity between Brazil and X (Twitter) made me wonder, can’t Brazil just block X domains? Why is it dependent on X doing it from their end?

To block a web page, you need to force all of the internet service providers to put that block in place. In most countries those service providers are not government run, so the government doesn’t have direct control over it.
That being said, all of the service providers in Brazil, except Starlink, did block X. Starlink refused for a bit, but eventually capitulated and put the block in place.
