A Brazilian judge has decreed that all access to the entire site of www.youtube.com be blocked by Brazilian ISP's.
Due to a demand by Daniela Cicarelli (ex-fiancée of soccer star Ronaldo) in regard to a video, which has been hosted on Youtube, of her apparently having sex in waist-deep water on a Spanish beach, Brazilians are no longer allowed to access any of Youtube's content. Any attempt is followed by the browser replying that the webpage could not be found.
Considering that the event took place on a public beach, in a foreign country (Spain), and that the video is not sexually explicit, low quality, and hosted in another foreign country, perhaps this judge has overreacted just a little bit.
