Are they running their own courts and judge the Brazilian courts and came to the legally binding conclusion that this particular Brazilian judge is wrong?

A country typically falls into dictatorship by breaking its own laws. A judge issuing orders without due process and threatening to jail legal representatives of a company (again without due process), kind of seems a little like a dictatorship in the making.

You're projecting US values onto a country that is not the US.

All of Latin America is like this, and if X wants to do business there, this is the cost of business.

Twitter was happy to do this in Turkey and other countries. But Brazil has Steve Bannon and Bob Mercer with their hands there, so that should be a factor.
