Have a little faith? Compuserve, Prodigy, AOL, and a raft of others tried to make "their own internet" in the 80s/90s and the open system won out.

> Have a little faith?

No, thank you. I am from India, a country that lost its independence and was ruled and looted as a colony by a corporate called the East India Company. I have no faith in or trust in corporates.

In a healthy democracy, Government regulations and standards are a MUST to protect us from the greed of the corporates, and to create a level playing field.

Facebook is an american company and I applaud the wisdom of the Brazil policy makers to make it abide by their country's rules.
