Bluesky could implement it in their moderation service, but that does not mean users in Brazil would be impacted by it.

Users could swap moderation service or swap interfaces

The one thing that could happen is the PDS deleting the record for everyone, everywhere

One thing to separate is Bluesky from ATProto. Bluesky is the default implementation of the 4 core pieces, but one could use alternatives for all of them as well and still have their content show up in the bsky app. Imagine if Twitter was open source and federated

If you're providing tools to circumvent government bans you're gonna get banned, the government won't care about your federated moderation layer

If the govt bans a specific app, the people will just use another for accessing the same information.

It's not really tools for circumvention. The Bluesky app is more like Chrome for the ATProto network, the best implementation of a viewer, open source and leading edge. The moderation is less federated, more about user choice, as each labeller is centralized, but there are many of them.
