I'm just... shocked. That's censure!
That puts us, Brazilians, side by side to China or Iraq.
Only countries with that kind of governments block Internet contents.
I'm REVOLTED.
YouTube Blocked In Brazil
January 6, 2007

There are widespread reports today (although annoyingly, few sources) that YouTube has been blocked in Brazil following the court order earlier this week. Model Daniela Cicarelli, you’ll remember, demanded over $100,000 in damages for every day her sex tape stayed up - when it was continually reposted by users, Cicarelli demanded that YouTube be shut down until the clip is permanently removed.
Reports today say that BrasilTelecom, the most popular phone company in South Brazil, has blocked access to the site. According to some sources, access was blocked nationwide at a DNS level, and many of the company’s customers are annoyed. The Sao Paulo Supreme Court, meanwhile, denies having ordered the whole site down, despite the fact that another large carrier called Embratel received a letter from a judge to block the domain www.youtube.com.
