Oddbean new post about login | logout it actually did follow our laws by not obeying moraes who was himself breaking the laws. brazilian law expressly prohibits accounts' banning since 2016. brazilian law also does not require local representation if the company does not do business with local companies. brazilian law also forbids one company from assuming the obligations of another. and, above all, it forbids subpoenas to be made via social networks. Moraes didn't just tear up the laws, he tore up the constitution. I'm a lawyer, by the way ^^
if you get to translate it, this is our internet bill, the last bill sanctioned by then president dilma before the soft coup of 2016, which led moraes to power. he's screwing it article by article. https://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_ato2011-2014/2014/lei/l12965.htm
then again... if you get to translate it, I assure you, modesty aside, there's no better explanation than this one about the past eight/eleven years: https://open.substack.com/pub/sutor/p/alexandre-o-mediocre-golpista-do
I don’t actually want to understand the ins and outs of Brazilian politics. It’s complicated and super partisan.
