Bluesky is decentralized, it's virtually impossible to ban this thing once it gets enough nodes running around the globe.
Not sure if it's better than Twitter for censorship.

What bullshit. Their rep in Brazil doesn't control anything about the platform or make decisions about disbursement of funds. Doing so is simply a variation of nation-state hostage taking.
Well, that's how being a legal representative of any company in the World works.
Negative, representatives do not control their clients - they are the middleman that can explain process and likely result, but they are not the clients.

#83And Madtodon! Here’s a post from Eugen Rochko on August 31st (2 days ago): “Aug 10, 10 sign-ups from #Brazil. Aug 28, 152 sign-ups from Brazil. Today, 4.2k sign-ups from Brazil. Portuguese (Brazil) has already entered the list of top 8 active languages for the last 30 days.” https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/113059113589150365
Apparently that's around 1000 times less accounts than for Bluesky alone.
Bluesky just found its moment. Hopefully they can capitalise.

Does BlueSky have a legal representative in Brazil?
BlueSky don't have any justice issue. Because of this, don't need representative yet.
A lot of Brazilian users are posting "I am using a VPN to access X" on BlueSky so the judge will probably order BlueSky to turn over their IP addresses(like he did in orders to X) so they can be fined $9000 a day.

No, that comes down to shooting the messenger because you don't like what he said. This is usually done by 'the bad guys' and this seems to be the case in Brazil as well.

I'm sorry, but you must be confusing what a legal representative is, or we are getting lost in translation here.
The legal rep for Twitter in Brazil was not just some Lawyer defending Twitter in court. They were effectively the Owner and President of the Twitter subsidiary in Brazil, and as such are legally responsible for any and all dealings of the company in the country.

Not at all. See my reply to the other comment.

It's not exactly impossible to ban since the court is threatening individuals with a $9k daily fine for trying to access via VPN. The court also previously ordered Google & Apple to delete VPN apps off people's phones.

Is BlueSky required to have a legal rep?
