All Twitter had to do was appoint a legal representative in Brazil and this trouble wouldn't have happened

They had a legal representative. They were about to be arrested by the tyrant judge, so they fled to Argentina IIRC. Also, the orders are all illegal. God, how HN can be disappointing sometimes when it comes to politics...

  Nobody flew to argentina they were just fired. There are interviews with the last employes reporting that they didn't even got pay after they were fired. It was a suprise decission for them too. What you are saying here is just no sense.

    > they didn't even got pay after they were fired. Musk is about to learn about Brazilian labor laws. They have teeth, lots of them.

  some criminals which were condened by a failled coup in 1/8/2022 and where in house arrest , most like the ones which was condened in US for the 1/6/2020 trump coup, so, they are condened criminals

And even less than that. All Twitter had to do was maintain the legal representative which they already had.

  The representative was threatned with arrest, what did you expect them to do? Hire another one so they could also be threatned?

    That's the rule for disobeying a court order. Do you know any countries you can disregard a court order and be left alone?

They did at one point it seems. Then said representative was threatened with arrest. So now they don't.

  That's what happens when you refuse to comply with a court order. You can question it, you can get a habeas corpus to prevent you from being arrested in the meantime, but the question will be eventually settled and the company will have to comply if the order is found legal.

I thought they had an office in Brazil and they threatened to arrest them, so Twitter shut it down.

  The entire point of having a legal representative is that legal representative can and will support the consequences of the company. So, arresting them or whatever looks to me business as usual.
- ricardorivaldo 2y ago
  It is up to the criminals to decide if they will comply with the law, if they do not, the law has consequences, this is very simple and straightforward, same as in US, you do not comply with a legal order, you suffer the consequences, the company is not complying with our contry law ? it should not operate in brazil
