> Apple might be able to tell Brazil where to go

Doubt. Corporations who have folded before Brazil and its officials include Telegram, Meta, Google, and most recently Twitter.

In fact the supreme court judges are debating regulation of social media literally right now. Yes, the judges legislate in this country. Last time Google tried to campaign against that by putting a link on their search page, they slapped it with a totally arbitrary hourly fine for the grave crime of "abusing their economic position". The fines kept coming until the link was gone.

Just today I saw news about this. One of those judges was trying to calm down a Meta lawyer by reassuring him it was not an inquisition, only for the judge who shut down X to finish his sentence by saying "yet". It's not gonna stop, they're gonna steal millions from the american economy unless they call their White House contacts and get Trump to sanction this place.
