Really it's just absurd that we have borders. Ergo absurd situations arise.

Would you rather no borders exist, and a Brazilian judge ruling against WhatsApp taking out service worldwide, instead?

I'm not sure what I'd prefer, but borders are an artifact of lag-induced information asymmetry that has drastically lessened with modern means of communication and travel and their existence is a pre-requisite for a lot of the fucked up power dynamics on our planet so I imagine a number of potential systems without them could be an improvement.
