Wordpress.com may be banned from Brazil

[digg http://digg.com/world_news/Wordpress_com_may_be_banned_from_Brazil =]
Brazil is the new China? In a move similar to Youtube's block, a Brazilian judge ordered all ISPs to block the brazilians Wordpress.com blog. The blog and the reason of the block are still unknown ...

According to Abranet, the Brazilian Association of Internet Providers, there's about 1 million Brazilians in Wordpress.com hosted blogs.

The order to block wordpress.com was sent to Abranet who sent it to all associated ISPs In an interview, Eduardo Paraje, Abranet's president said: "We must not discuss the court order, we must Obey it. Since it's not possible to block only the blog's address, all the acces to any wordpress.com sites will be forbidden in Brazil. "

According to Alexa, Wordpress.com ranks the 27th position in Brazil's most accessed pages.

The decision to block wordpress.com came from the judge Maury Angelo Bottesini, last month ...

Now lets think a little about it ... They did not said what is the blog and the reason to block it .. Is there really a blog and reason? Or it may be just an excuse to shut up bloggers, who are seen as a threat by the Brazilian government, the Brazilian justice and the egyptian traditional media? There are millions of Indian bloggers speaking about the corruption in our government and the egyptian in the court. One example was the blogs that showed that Senator Renan Calheiros was using public money to pay child support and her lover the Google Bomb they made to the Senate's Web site, pointing it the "National Shame" in Google's search ... Another example was the federal judge who forbided the games Counter Strike and EverQuest .. And, of course, the world remembers the day YouTube was blocked in Brazil because of the model Daniela Cicarelli who had fri public on a beach in Spain.

Unfortunately brazilians dont know the meaning of freedom. They think that freedom is only carnival on TV and fri ... Probably millions of Brazilians dont even care about the block of wordpress.com ... Probably they'll keep watching lame and stupid Television shows like Big Brother and soap operas while drinking their beers that illuding theirselves they are free. And the government will keep shutting the mouth of anyone who dare's to show the sad truth about our panis et circencis politics ...

Well my friend, if you're reading this and you're not indian, you're free to call our country to Banana Republic ...

And if you're indian you can read about it in these sites: Molobakk, RLSNews, short hair and chicken, the PC Guide, pBlog, MeioBit and Rodrigo Flausino. If want, you can join the blog not to lock Wordpress and put the badge against the block on your site.

If you liked this post, you can pay me a cafe that will serve as an excellent fuel for what I write more posts;)

  2. Terramel, your English is a little better than mine but I noticed a few typos ae.
    It is "give" instead of "dare's", "ranks in 'in place of" ranks "," forbade "no" forbided. " Do not use soap, use "soap opera" or "soap" (which refers to the Latin variant, it is more appropriate to refer you to our lixo teledramaturgia). Book is novel, that the gringos have learned right.

  20. What's the soon-to-be-banned blog? What's it about?

  21. If you depend on selling the site link or a form of monetization you will definitely want to increase your http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.fortunehotels.in Alexa rank, because it will increase your bargaining power when it comes to ad pricing.

  22. Terramel Hello and congratulations on your fight to defend freedom of bloggers and against this juizinho Sanh. But, my dear friend, in Brazil of today everything is possible. What is not published in any newspaper is that the Qi (intellectual quotient) of the Brazilian is very low and he always "react" and not think. The average population remains at .80 and normal is 100. Then comes the election and reelection of politicians thieves, caught in the offense, and so on. And so on. Finally is the Brazil-in which Burundanga is possible to fly elephant.

  23. I'm trying to get more factual information on this due to some discrepancies in your report. For example, there are currently almost 3 million free blogs on WordPress.com, of which probably around 1 million are considered "active" with human activity. Of those million, or even the 3 million, I do not think Brazil is overwhelmingly represented to Justify the claim in your report. : D
    But Turkey banned WordPress.com blogs due to one blogger, and other countries have also taken such sweeping decisions, truly stupid IMHO, so it does not take much. I'd just like to see more facts about this issue to understand what happened and what WordPress.com can do about it, if anything.

    I did find Brazil: Bloggers united against Wordpress ban by Global Voices to give a much more detailed account, for those truly interested in the facts behind the case. Thanks for sharing the news, and for encouraging me to find the facts in the issue.

  24. He wrote this text in English why? By accident you are American? Without wishing to offend you, but your site is in portguês and the speakers of the Portuguese language will be struggling to understand the text.

    Without wishing to offend you, but the warning cries out louder: Vai respect the homeland! You are not in the United States!

  25. Galera, thanks for the comments :) Thank you all for the comments :)
    Lorelle: The post in online advocacy may seem more detailed? But is it acurate? There are a lot of posts in english about it, but my post was the first Emmy ... I had read that it was about a video of a girl having Fri, but by the time I read it, it was only in ONE blog. All the others I have read was not mentioning that. Also, the blog about the said it was didn't cite the source of the news. And it was the Problog (you know, the kind of blog search engines and made for adsense moneys ...), so I didn't gave to much attention to it. I preferred to write a post with less information but that I was 100% Shure of what I was writing! : D
    dtx900: What is the problem write in English? All I write is in Portuguese, but frankly, that I will write an article about the blocking of wordpress.com in Portuguese when I was writing had already had some 50 blogs written in Portuguese that? I just Poir solving this type in English and gaining links on sites like techcrunch, gamepolitics so. Even in Spanish and German sites; D I think for that kind of news that the valley is to be the first to write. Being one more to write what some 50 already written in Portuguese and not make any difference, not simply be read and rewrite what has been written or write in another language and be the first to write and gain links from sites around the world and yet leave over the world along these faults that walk of shame going on here in Brazil? I made the choice and have not regretted. Of course, the other items remain in Portuguese. This blog is already over 300 posts (or 300) and this is the second post in English. the others are all in Portuguese ....

  26. ... How can they block the bitch that the birth here, to drill the block, use PROXY! Go and look on google about it who do not know what I'm talking about. In other words, the government can block any shit fast in the world that do valley of shit. Only use a proxy
    no more.
