Wow, Brazil still has some way to go, eh? Saying that, I'm writing from the UK, a developed country that has attempted to raid another country's embassy to extract a political asylum seeker, most likely with the thought of eventually having him deported to the US, where he'd be murdered or held indefinitely. On the other hand, it shows the precarious nature of YouTube as a medium. They're not responsible for the content because... What? Google says so? Up until the recent times, we were used to channels taking at least some responsibility for the content they're carrying. Do the TV channels and newspapers not have to worry about privacy issues or about being libellous or slandering? Are the bookshops not prevented from stocking illegal, potentially harmful books? It's very convenient and cost-saving for Google to say: "sorry guys, we know we earn $billions but it's all on user-generated content, so we have no control over it." Perhaps that situation will change in the future and Google will have to comply with local regulations, although that'd bring a host of other issues with it. I largely see Google as a force for good. However, there's a thin line that could be crossed and could lead to the company imposing its own, sometimes US-centred views, on the local nations. "Do no evil" to America is not necessarily the same as do no evil as a human being.
