From the article:
> X has clashed with de Moraes over its reluctance to block users — mostly far-right activists accused of undermining Brazilian democracy and allies of former President Jair Bolsonaro — and has alleged that de Moraes wants an in-country legal representative so that Brazilian authorities can exert leverage over the company by having someone to arrest. And Musk has been relentlessly posting in recent days, lambasting de Moraes as a criminal.
What a colossal amount of doublethink. Why would a court require a corporation to provide a legal representative as a requirement to operate in a country? Why would the court have a need to contact your company? Why would a court have any motivation to arrest a legal representative of a corporation after reaching out to said corporation through the designated chanel to send a legal request?
It's unbelievable how these guys omit themselves from even being an active participant in the ordeal when they are in fact the whole instigators.
