It's pretty simple.
Twitter is following the law in all cases.
In Brazil's case, the orders are illegal and in some cases contradict the law of other countries.
This was all explained pretty well by X Global Affairs:

- kranke155 2y agoYou really trust X Global Affairs over an entire government, with no research?
- Gud 2y ago"entire government"? really?
- kranke155 2y ago[flagged]
- brigadier132 2y agoYes, but with research
- goodluckchuck 2y agoGovernments tend to be corrupt by their very nature.
- kranke155 2y agoCorporations and billionaires however...
- brigadier132 2y agoTalk to me when a corporation can be blamed for millions of human deaths.
- diggan 2y agoDevils advocate, but what about tobacco companies Philip Morris International and British American Tobacco?
- nec4b 2y agoDid they march people by millions into gulags or concentration camps?
- rbanffy 2y agoNo. They convinced them to willingly use addictive substances that would kill them while, at the same time, suppressing research into the negative effects of smoking and paying lobbying groups to prevent legislation against smoking. But... Yeah... They were a bit more subtle.
- nec4b 2y ago>> They were a bit more subtle. Moral relativism at its finest, when a person selling cigarettes at a gas station is equal to Pol Pot. I'm curious where would you rather live: 1. A place where they sell cigarettes and deceive you how dangerous they are, but you don't have to buy them if you don't want to. 2. A place where you and you family can be disappeared in the middle of the night. Mind you you can still get cigarettes here as well, but with a lot less variety.
- Hamuko 2y agoHow high is Boeing's death toll at the moment?
- lobocinza 2y agoBoeing is a military contractor strongly backed up by the US government.

- goodluckchuck 2y ago… engage in corruption only to the extent that it is profitable or it otherwise suits their desires / morality. Governments however, will be corrupt even when corruption loses them money and is contrary to their own self-interest.
- bamboozled 2y agoThis is a silly comment.

- mrtksn 2y agoAre they running their own courts and judge the Brazilian courts and came to the legally binding conclusion that this particular Brazilian judge is wrong?
- brigadier132 2y agoA country typically falls into dictatorship by breaking its own laws. A judge issuing orders without due process and threatening to jail legal representatives of a company (again without due process), kind of seems a little like a dictatorship in the making.
- mrtksn 2y agoSo Twitter is a revolutionary[in Brazil only ]?
- kranke155 2y agoYou're projecting US values onto a country that is not the US. All of Latin America is like this, and if X wants to do business there, this is the cost of business. Twitter was happy to do this in Turkey and other countries. But Brazil has Steve Bannon and Bob Mercer with their hands there, so that should be a factor.
