> WhatsApp might have the HN crowd sympathy on this Not mine. But Brazilian courts, with their over-arching powers, have even less sympathy; Brazilian bureaucracy, with their disregard for individual freedom, have even less sympathy; and lawmakers, with their disdain for those without as much command of the laws, the least of all my sympathy. That someone is not doing their every bidding - oh, I'm sorry, not treating them "the proper way" - is something that must be hard to muster. I guess their contempt made them blind to what makes sense and what doesn't. Brazil doesn't get a free pass in something no one else in the civilized world is asking for.
