This isn&#x27;t might makes right this is a corporation pissing over laws, if this was some oil company killing seals would you respond in the same manner?<p>WhatsApp provides a service in a country, they gain direct financial benefit from almost 100M users, they received a subpoena and ignored it because it&#x27;s Brazil, if this would&#x27;ve been a European nation they would most likely have complied, if it were a US court order they would for sure have complied.<p>The only &quot;might makes right&quot; here is WhatsApp ignoring the subpoena because they are an almighty multi billion dollar US company which thinks it&#x27;s above the law. And on the other side we know that there&#x27;s pretty much no company on the planet that would dare to defy a US subpoena or court order.<p>Should only US and &quot;western&quot; nation&#x27;s legal systems be respected? Is this some how morally compelling to you?
