What if FB fired the VP? Pay him a nice severance, pay his legal fees but cut him off from being able to comply with the court order.
At that point the authorities are left holding the bag.

#13Greenwald at The Intercept writes a lot about American spying and overreach in data access. I'll be interested to see what he writes about Brazil's activities such as this.
Probably about as much as you see from him on the subject of Russia and China. The Intercept is about as unbiased as Fox News - lots of criticism directed towards the US and its allies, silence on every other country.
Journalists have beats. It's ridiculous to expect Greenwald to report on every government in the world.

For some reason, true oppressive regimes aren't worth reporting on anymore.

#15Put simply, they are in contempt of the court disregarding the subpoena. This, under Brazilian law, warrants the arrest.
They could fight the subpoena but decided to do nothing, so, I kinda agree with the court on this one.

Wonder if they would hire someone already in prison, purely to be a placeholder...? :D

Didn't know that "focus" == "bias".
