Yes, the Brazilian legal system is based on civil law and the US one is based on common law, they work differently for example. This is not the first decision against Google in this election and will probably result in nothing for Google and their president and workers, I have a couple of friends working in Google Brazil and life is the same as before, there's no police in the door of their building harassing them, if everything else fails he could appeal to the Supreme Federal Court who judges matters of constitutional issues, including free speech and complication involving this basic right. Brazil does not have free speech as in the US, the legislation is almost the same that exist in France and a couple of other European countries for example, you cannot open a website containing hate speech, hosting neo-nazi websites is illegal in Brazil, hosting terrorism related websites is illegal in Brazil, the list follows, I prefer this way although I see value in the American system. Following HN for such a long time I saw a couple of comments about how the legal system in the US also sucks and how the legal system there is a mess, nothing different from, people here in São Paulo generally idolizes the American criminal law and how it's easy to put people in jail for long times or even applying capital punishment, which does not exist in Brazil, with a exception in military justice in times of war, and yet I saw more than one discussion of how this same system in the US sucks right here on HN some months ago. There's a point in the last paragraph, why are you generalizing? Are you a expert in comparative international law? If not I do not see how your opinion matters or how your last paragraph is valid, I used to be a grad student in the US I got the impression that Americans are over litigious and that the justice system generally benefits the rich who can pay better lawyers, not much different from here in Brazil, but that is just pure personal experience, I'm not a lawyer, I am a statistician. Must I say then that the US judicial system is corrupt? I don't think so, personally I would love to live in a world where judges are not necessary but we know that this won't happen. And by the way in Brazil a judge is employed by the state not by a government.
