A Brazilian court has ordered the YouTube website blocked for failing to withdraw a compromising video of supermodel Adriana Cicarelli on a beach in Spain, a local newspaper reported.
The ex-wife of Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo was filmed by a paparazzi at a beach in Cadiz smooching and writhing among the waves with another Brazilian, Renato Malzoni.
The couple sued Globo Organizations, which runs several websites, IG and YouTube for posting the video. While Globo and IG withdrew the video, the popular video website YouTube did not.
"YouTube was the only company that did not comply with the court order," said the couple's lawyer Rubens Decoussau.
A Brazilian official, however, told O Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper that it would be technically "impractical" to block YouTube from its Brazilian customers. |
