I am sorry, but your argument is idiotic. It boils down to "WhatsApp wasn't there to produce something they didn't have, so a district court judge managed to order a bunch of nonparties to the lawsuit to take down WhatsApp." That's like a district judge in NY ordering all the telcos to block all iPhones because Apple refuses to hack a phone for him. What kind of judicial system are you running there in Brazil? I am glad that you are in the minority, but that's no way to run a country.
I don't really like seeing what is very very close to a personal attack ("your argument is idiotic", "I am glad you are in the minority...") in what should be a civilized place.
With all respect, how is that "very very close" to a personal attack? Sure, they're passionate, and frankly I disagree with other sides of what they've said in their comment, but it's not a personal attack in the slightest: it's a strongly worded indictment of the parent comment and the opinions expressed therein. There's nothing wrong with that, that's exactly how arguing works, at least in my opinion :)
It's not exactly one, but I think the tone is excessively aggressive. The words maybe not right on the money, but someone not carefully parsing them might easily find themselves feeling that way. Riding right on the edge isn't the greatest idea when you'd like people to interpret your words charitably.
You can be civil while disagreeing strongly. For instance, instead of calling something "idiotic" you could say "I disagree in the strongest possible terms. I do not believe your facts have a basis in reality." This is still somewhat rude, but a lot better as it avoids entangling their personage.
Since we are talking about me, I might comment as well. Even the smartest and best people can, from time to time, have idiotic ideas, I sure had a few in my time :) To say that someone has an idiotic idea isn't the same as to call them an idiot. The original comment was a well presented, though flawed, argument, clearly NOT a work of an idiot. Further, for me to say "I am glad you are in the minority..." simply indicates that I disagree vehemently with the position the original commenter is taking and I am very happy that his position is not very popular, as that means that maybe things in Brazil will change for the better as the result of this.
I also find it ironic that in a post about censorship someone pulled out the HN censorship guidelines. I totally understand the context is completely different, but it's funny.
