whatsapp does this misinformation job immensely better

For X? Sure, that's why they're leaving in the first place - by not complying to the judge's orders, they'd surely get slapped with fines and such. As a company, it makes sense to leave and avoid being accountable, but given the influence they (sadly) still have in the media, avoiding those repercussions and letting bad actors do their thing, they're adding gasoline to the burning world.

The fact that Whatsapp is more popular in Brazil than X is beside the point.
