    I hope Lula wins and they will ban Facebook for good after the elections. This is an attack on Brazil’s sovereignty.

        > Your little corporation with a fancy flag and its “sovereignty” isn’t scaring anyone.

        Do I misunderstand, or are you calling Brazil, the nation whose population is around 214 million, a "little corporation"?

            That entity is the democratic representation of those two hundred million people. What you are suggesting is nothing less than colonial disenfranchisement of Latin America. I guess it wouldn't be the first time?
