I’m glad I don’t live in Brazil. Why ban X? It makes no sense.

Because X is not complying with the law in that country.

Whether the law is right or not is irrelevant. You either comply or leave.

Usually folks conceive of the continuum like so

Rule of Law >-------------< Complete Corruption

How do you think about it?
