> What is the fuss around Brazil? Why this is not just another day with business as usual?

The orders in Brazil were issued in secret. X couldn't even show that the accounts were withheld by legal demand. Turkey government is considered authoritarian by most where in Brazil the waters are still shallow.

I suppose if Twitter still had a legal representative there, they would have been involved. But hey, somebody decided not to keep that office, so here we are.

Musk said employees were threatened with jail.

Maybe the company should just stop doing illegal stuff?

Moraes orders were illegal and went against the letter, the tradition and the spirit of the laws.

Said who? Any criminal will say that what they do is justified and legal and all. Only justice will officially decide on that and here justice decided, whether somebody (you, me, twitter) likes it or not. There's always the appeal path, and if all exhausted and I still don't like it, well, there. And honestly I can't even begin to understand the blue-eyed logic behind "I don't like a legal decision so I will not respect it and expect impunity"

that's not true, everything that is happening is according with the brasilian law, our juditiary is mostly right wing, moraes was appointed by a righ wing president in 2016 and current one is from a oposite left wing party, we are a mostly functional democracy with a real separation between government branches, the issue her is only a matter of comply with existing laws
