For example Twitter when it was blocked in Brazil for a little while because they didn't want to pay a fine for not complying with some of their regulations.

Though the bigger part of that was that their representative quit, and by Brazilian law, companies that operate in Brazil must have a representative in the country.

Twitter tried to sidestep that by not paying the fine, and also not having a representative, so the fine couldn't be applied that way. In response, the judge presiding over the cause required Twitter be blocked.
