Comment Privacy doesn't count? (Score 1) 387
It's quite dumb to have sex in public, especially as a public figure. But I am slightly amazed at some of the comments here about "freedom of speech" and "the Brazilian government does x" or "spread it as much as you can to show em!".
This has nothing to do with freedom of speech of the Brazilian government as a whole. As I understand it, this is a civil lawsuit by the person in question to stop having a sex video shown. Which became court ordered, a court is not "the Brazilian government". It seems some techies here have little understanding of how political power and the court systems work. It's the same as you stepping to a court to ask them to do something (in this case protect your privacy) and the court ruling in your favour, that has nothing to do with "the Brazilian government" or "freedom of speech".
I'm also a bit amazed at how vengeful some people's comments are with how it should be spread. Don't get me wrong, she wasn't the smartest person in the world to have herself be filmed publically making out and later having sex in the water, but that doesn't mean she should be criminalised or hurt for it or? Its a bit the "if you leave your door open it serves you right to be robbed" argument. People wanting other people to suffer for making a mistake, justifying the actual thing that was done wrong. Because while she was stupid, somebody did violate her privacy by filming it and putting it online.
As for somebody commenting about how "a government" dares to impose law on a US company. Aside from it being a court, thank god they can! Sorry, but I really do not want to live in a world where companies make the laws, can break the laws, etc. and governments have no power over them..... oh wait that world is already happening. I have nothing against google, but they are "just a company", they should not have power over governments who where democratically elected.
Of course otherwise it's stupid they would court order to block all of youtube for an entire nation. But I think this more showcases the issues with lawmaking over the Internet and policing the Internet.
