The problem in Brazil is not only politics. Everyone with money enough
to afford a good lawyer can ask to remove something from Google
(orkut, youtube)

A famous case was a brazilian model, Daniela Cicarelli, who had sex on
the beach and some paparazzi put it on youtube. She sued youtube and
the video had to be removed (but I'm pretty sure you can find it
everywhere).

It's very common for celebrities at least try to sue Orkut for fake
profiles, stuff like that.

There are laws in Brazil, still from the dictatorship, that go totally
against the "freedom of speech" concept. So, yep, there is some
censorship, based in old laws.
