“Google has blocked a YouTube video that allegedly slanders a mayoral candidate in Brazil after losing a court battle that saw its local head of operations, Fabio Coelho, briefly arrested. The Internet search giant confirmed late Thursday that it had restricted access to the video the court had deemed slanderous against Alcides Bernal, a candidate for mayor of Campo Grande, in the Mato Grosso do Sul state. Coelho was released after he agreed to appear in court, where he faces allegations of ‘disobedience’ that carry a maximum penalty of a year in prison.”
