A Brazilian judge has ordered Brazilian ISPs to block access to a blog hosted at WordPress.com. Since all WordPress blogs share the same IP, the order amounts to a total ban on WordPress blogs (including Internet Scofflaw). Unfortunately, Brazil is establishing a record of such draconian censorship actions; two years ago Brazil banned YouTube for days.
To their credit, WordPress has refused to censor the blog themselves. This makes them better than Google (which owns Blogger).
