But what if they mutate?!
It’s a common thing in many countries. It’s, among other things, a liability issue.
If your “country #1” company does business in “country #2” then what laws apply to them?
In order to distinguish clear lines what “country #2” requires is a representative for the company to be in the country. If the company breaks “country #2”'s laws then the representative is liable for it.
Generally to be a representative you have to have a measurable stake in the transaction, you can’t just be a random Jimbo, so it usually falls to a law firm (or an entity that works with one), mainly because if you need people to help your company follow the law, then they should know the law.
If the company breaks the law, the firm has to deal with that, so it’s a risk for them.
In this case, X needed that representative, either they couldn’t or wouldn’t find one, therefore Brazil said “we can’t hold you accountable to our laws, so get out of our country.”
I’m super, MEGA, oversimplifying, and I’m no expert, but this is my best understanding.
They require a representative in order to establish a chain of responsibility that deals with crime, censorship, social health (lol), public relations, etc.
It does come down to a combination of size, influence, services rendered, and other factors.
He could put a random kid in charge but it would make it worse, like putting a busboy in a chef’s hat during Rush hour.
I mean, you’re being facetious, but no, the law being “your company must have a legal representative to be within our borders”
X was told about it, given a deadline, they missed the deadline, they can’t be in Brazil
Actions have consequences
Because they broke the law.
Makes sense, the 90’s turned everything edgy.
I’m a fan of the third one, 2022’s “Piggy”
Lemmy has reminded me that many, MANY people stopped paying attention in class after 5th grade and considered “Animal Farm” a long and confusing read.
Censorship isn’t the same as consequences.
Elon’s companies have had financial trends that ebb and flow with the whims of the influence of their owner, intended and otherwise, the correlation is:
They have the same owner.
Same owner, pretty simple.
“If you help my X then your T goes up in value”
Like many, I think it was Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt, but the game I clearly remember as my beginning of love of video games was Pokemon Gold on a Rew emulator on PC.
My brother installed it, and my world was forever changed the moment I heard the star shimmer sound effect from Game Freak.
I don’t like this… On the other hand, I don’t fully hate it, because even though it’s scummy corporate advertising, they are helping to fund a school.
And maybe being okay with this even remotely is part of the problem.
90% of IT and software jobs are “I have common sense, know how to look up information, and my boss is intimidated by my work so they don’t question it.”
Mmm, love me some DP, especially from my blower.
It’s gas powered.
It even comes with a built-in flash to show you did it right!
I don’t care about being “nice,” I try very hard to be good and sometimes that comes off as “nice,” but generally being good improves my life, the life of my loved ones, the life of my community, and sometimes even the world, if only very little.
Evil people can be nice too, is the problem.
He’s still with you in every lesson, moment, and memory you shared. It’s not the same ever again, but it’s there.
“Bandit Heeler has recently come under scrutiny to the allegations that he is ‘the bestest boy.’ More tonight at 7”
You didn’t misremember, it was a scholarly discussion point that spread too far before it got debunked, like how some people still believe the “gum stays inside you for 7 years”
