Wordpress Banned in Brazil! What the Heck

I was shocked to go through a news feed mentioning that Wordpress.com is banned in Brazil, just because judge in Brazil ruling against a WordPress.com blogger featuring a YouTube video embedded in the blog of a couple having sex. Thats so sick to hear!

The reason is a court order issued in March which stipulates the prohibition of access to a particular blog, hosted on Wordpress. The blog’s name and the reason for the ban have not been disclosed. The problem is that, according to Abranet [Brazilian Association of Internet Service Providers], in order for this decision to be carried out, they would need to block the entire wordpress.com domain (it is not possible to prevent access to a single blog, since the entire domain shares the same IP). Blogs based on Wordpress, but hosted under different addresses, would not be affected by the ban.

The nicest compliment that you can give me is to to subscribe to the Dental Blogging Newsletter. Thanks for visiting!
