Sex Scandal In Brazil Affects WordPress Bloggers
A recent Brazilian YouTube sex scandal threatened to close down every WordPress blog around the world.
Did you hear about it? It’s already called “YouTube Gate” — apparently a spicy sex scene was posted on YouTube and someone discussed it on a WordPress-hosted blog.
The problem is the Brazillian courts placed a ban on viewing the IP address of the entire WordPress website…
… And that means potentially thousands of bloggers can’t have their content shown in their country.
Even worse, this isn’t the first time a violation like this closed down an entire network of blogs.
But the bottom line is this should be a wakeup call for those who rely on hosted blogs (like WordPress) to tweak their strategy and avoid getting their own blogs banned.
The good news is the fix is simple… just host WordPress on your own server or a hosting provider (rather than hosting it on the WordPress site).
It’s no doubt that many have blogs have started to feel the tension from this block, the court in Brazil is going to review their verdict and try to reach a compromise.
