Controversies [
edit ]
YouTube controversy [ edit ]
In September 2006, 🧾 a video of Cicarelli having sex
with her boyfriend on a beach in Tarifa, Spain[9] was shot by paparazzo Miguel 🧾 Temprano
and broadcast on the TV show Dolce Vita on the Spanish station Telecinco. The video was
spread around the 🧾 internet, with Cicarelli being granted legal injunctions against
YouTube and other websites,[10] leading to several Brazilian ISPs blocking YouTube. In
🧾 January 2007 after a legal decision, YouTube was blocked in Brazil for two days,
resulting in 5.7 million users being 🧾 blocked.[11] This decision was criticized by
internet watch groups for being an extremely selfish act. This happened when Cicarelli
worked 🧾 as a host on MTV Brasil, leading to nearly 80,000 emails protesting against the
blockade and her legal actions. Some 🧾 people even went to the building of the TV station
to protest.[12][13][14]
In 2007, YouTube won the case, based on that 🧾 there is no
expectation of privacy on a public beach. Cicarelli appealed and in 2008 the Supreme
Court of the 🧾 state of São Paulo changed the decision, on grounds of lack of public
interest and invasion of privacy.[15] The lawsuit 🧾 was finally determined in 2024, when
Cicarelli and her boyfriend in the video were each awarded damages of R$250,000
(US$64,000) 🧾 from Google by the Superior Court of Justice of Brazil.[16] YouTube remains
active in Brazil.[17][18][19][20]
