Brazilian judge reverses YouTube ban

A judge reversed course Tuesday and lifted an order that led to a ban of YouTube in Brazil because a sexy video of supermodel Daniela Cicarelli had circulated widely on the video-sharing site.The move came after telecommunications companies and Internet providers blocked YouTube from the Amazon to Brazil's populous south in recent days, saying they were unable to limit blocking to the video of Cicarelli making out with her boyfriend.The case, the first of its kind in Latin America's largest nation, spotlights the extremely gray and technologically challenging area of when and how Internet companies and providers should remove content when privacy rights are violated.
