Oh I'm sure the americans will quickly get sick of this unelected brazilian judge, a literal nobody from some barbaric communist country, thinking he can whimsically censor and fine their corporations. In fact I'm counting on it. I hope this guy pisses the americans off so much they actually apply sanctions to my own country.
Not the first time he does it either. Last year Google engaged in a little campaign against their proposed "fake news" law, they just added a little link to their home page. These judges censored Google: take it down or face totally arbitrary fines of about 200kUSD per hour.

They essentially threatened to steal from the american economy an average software developer's yearly salary every hour if their demands were not met. Their unconstitutional demands, by the way. Brazilian constitution says censorship is illegal. And these are the guys whose literal job is to apply that constitution.
Think about it. Google could have hired one person from here for every hour of "disobedience". Doesn't that piss you off? I hope it does. I hope it gets someone to write something to their representatives.
