I’m in Indonesia. When the rebrand announcement happened I checked x.com and it was indeed blocked. But twitter.com worked fine (I mean, worked just like you’d expect a garbage dump to).
I checked a couple days later and it was the same. Now both work correctly.
If twitter.com got blocked it must have been for a very short period and at a weird time. I can’t imagine a redirect from a previously unrelated website triggering a block.

Thank you for the first hand account. I can’t stand reading all the comments from people assuming things.
The article clearly states that the government was talking with Twitter to resolve the problem. Companies don’t want downtime. It was a dumb move.
