Actually, you're wrong. Facebook strives to comply on a national level only whenever possible. Here's an article about it: https://www.mic.com/articles/87515/i

  Somehow you missed the fact that Facebook complied with the ruling made by Brazil's court. https://time.com/5874695/facebook-blocks-accounts-worldwide/ https://time.com/5874695/facebook-blocks-accounts-worldwide/ Seems to me that, yet again, a service provider complies with court rulings requesting that illegal content should be taken down.

    Please don't assume anyone on HN haven't read the linked article. It lowers the qualitty of discussions and is against guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Given I've quoted the article before on this thread, I can only assume you're acting in bad faith when insinuating I haven't read the article. With that said, as the article states, Facebook temporarily complied only after the judge increased the sentence with a threat of imprisioning staff. Facebook is paying lawyers out their own pockets to appeal as per article: > "Given the threat of criminal liability to a local employee, at this point we see no other alternative than complying with the decision by blocking the accounts globally, while we appeal to the Supreme Court," it said.
