Orkut revival petition crosses 270,000 signatures, majority from Brazil and Latin America

Orkut Büyükkökten's petition for a new social network focused on real connection had collected over 270,000 signatures as of October 9, 2026, with the largest concentration from Brazil, followed by Portugal, Ireland, and Paraguay.
