Wordpress Banned in Brazil! What the Heck
Dr. Teeth 18 April, 2008 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.
After reading i googled for the responses and had come across many such news briefings wherein Wordpress was banned due to very stupid reasons. I am scared if it would be banned in my country too through some scenario or other coz i have tons of blogs hosted on Wordpress. Lets hope for the best!

Wordpress should have been contacted for this, to ban just that single wordpress blog or just to delete the single blog.
There wasn’t a need of banning the whole wordpress domain lol.
That is pretty crazy. I am surprised to hear that.
thats a bad decision. Wordpress is a great company and they did nothing wrong.
