 [ … ] A immediate follow-up of previous Global Voices ’ posts about Brazil will convincingly show why we read that the local blogosphere is one of the hottest fire lines in the push for digital shore leave. Starting from the blocking of blogs by the Electoral Justice System during the final election (Election and Censorship Dialectics in the Brazilian Blogosphere), and the voting of a bill in Congress that would require identification for any web military action involving interactivity (Holding the line for Internet exemption in Brazilian Cyberspace), to the latest scandal that blocked YouTube access in the country (Cicarelli Case: censoring and Boycott Dialectics in the Brazilian Blogosphere), the world is getting accustomed to hearing about Internet battles in Brazil. It is becoming an dateless clash of real world institutions against the YOU of the virtual environment. Yes, YOU, the Time magazine 2006 person of the year. [ … ] 

 [ … ] equally soon as the data about the verdict mobilize on the net, Portuguese posts commenting the 4 year in prison sentence given to blogger Abdel Kareem Suleiman started to appear. Brazilian blogger sensitiveness about any site involving censoring is a lineal consequence of the many late attacks to their freedoms on the Internet, as showed by previous GV reports here, here, here, and also here. That ’s why they are ever ready to drive a stance and fight to maintain a status they believe they ’ve already conquered for themselves. In summation, Kareem ’s case brings in some reflexions about how different might be the Arab acculturation in relation to the exemption notion Brazilians are now practicing through blogging. [ … ]
