I must note that suggestions that Brazil doesn't lose anything by cutting off X are in my opinion not looking at the big picture. Many firms and other organizations still depend on X to get critical information out to customers and populations, including weather alerts, etc. In many cases there simply aren't alternatives with anything approaching the same reach. And Brazil ordering #Apple and #Google to block VPNs in this manner sets a terrible precedent. This is a bad situation all around and nothing to make light of.
