Arrest of Google Brazil head stirs debate over Web

Google Inc.'s head of operations in Brazil was detained by the country's federal police Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2012 after the company failed to heed a judge's order to take down YouTube videos that the court ruled violate Brazilian electoral law. The detention came as another court ordered YouTube to remove clips of an anti-Islam film that has been blamed for deadly protests by Muslims around the globe, both joining a spate of court-ordered content-removal cases against Google's video-sharing website in Brazil.

(AP) ? The arrest of a top Google executive is reviving a debate about Brazilian laws that hold services such as YouTube responsible for the videos posted on them, making the country a hotbed of attempts to stifle digital content.

Legal experts said Thursday that Google violated a judge's order to take down videos on its YouTube subsidiary that target Brazilian political candidates ? and that the judge was completely within the law in issuing the arrest warrant.

But they said the arrest of Fabio Jose Silva Coelho, the head of Google Inc.'s Brazil operations, underscores the need to modernize laws that treat offensive material on the Internet like material that is carried by newspapers, television and radio, holding platforms such as Google responsible for user-provided content.

Coelho was released shortly after his arrest Wednesday and agreed to appear before a court at an as-yet undetermined time. On Google's official Brazil blog, Coelho wrote Thursday night that the company was forced to block the video in the case for which he was arrested after the company lost its final appeal.

"We are deeply disappointed that we have never had the full opportunity to argue in court that these were legitimate free speech videos and should remain available in Brazil," he wrote. "Despite all this, we will continue to campaign for free expression globally."

Legal experts said the case cast a spotlight on problems within Brazil's legal system.

"Our laws trying to govern the Internet are outdated," said Jose Guilherme Zagallo, head of the Brazilian bar association's commission focusing on information technology law. "It's not clear who is responsible for content, and that creates uncertainty for Internet companies, users and judges, who are left to interpret laws not written for the Internet."

Brazil's strict electoral laws limit what critics can say on television, radio and the Internet about candidates for office. On several occasions in recent years, media outlets have faced stiff fines for breaking the laws, but few if any officials were arrested.

Google's alleged infractions, however, are more widespread, simply because of its omnipresence. Ahead of municipal elections in Brazil next month, Google has received requests in more than 20 states to remove videos that allegedly violate those restrictions.

Google has faced a landslide of content-removal requests around the globe, including in the U.S., but Brazil makes more requests than any other nation, according to the company's summary of all the demands. Most such demands relate to legitimate attempts to enforce laws on issues ranging from personal privacy to hate speech.

Brazilian government agencies alone submitted a total of 194 content-removal requests during the final half of last year, according to a summary released by Google in June. Running just behind that was the United States, where police, prosecutors, courts and other government agencies submitted 187 requests to remove content over the same period.

Google says it complied fully or partially with 54 percent of Brazilian removal requests in the last half of 2011. Most requests involved YouTube and charges of defamation. Other requests involved the social networking site Orkut and requests to remove illegal content, such as child pornography.

Separately this week, another Brazilian court ordered YouTube to remove clips of an anti-Islam film that has been blamed for deadly protests by Muslims around the globe. Google is now selectively blocking the video clips in countries that include Libya and Egypt. Google has said it made the decision to block the video in such places due to "the sensitive situations" there.

Brazil's legal action targeting a Google executive, while rare, is not unprecedented. In 2010 in Italy, a judge held three Google executives criminally responsible for an online video of an autistic teenager being bullied. The executives were given six-month suspended sentences.

A judge in Mato Grosso do Sul state ordered Coelho arrested because the company had not removed YouTube videos making incendiary comments about an alleged paternity suit aimed at Alcides Bernal, who is running for mayor of the city of Campo Grande.

"Being a platform, Google is not responsible for the content posted on its site," the company said in a statement this week.

Bruno Magrani, a researcher at the Center for Technology and Society at Rio de Janeiro's Getulio Vargas Foundation, said that unlike the United States and some other countries, Brazil doesn't have legal protections for online service providers that host content provided by third parties.

There is pending legislation that would provide some protection for intermediaries such as Google. Earlier this month the company joined Facebook and online retail site MercadoLivre in sending an open letter supporting the passage of the law, called Marco Civil.

"Marco Civil establishes that providers of Internet applications are not responsible for content published by users," the letter says. "Various economic, social and legislative factors justify not holding providers responsible; without that protection, the use of online applications and platforms would be limited, which would be a loss to users."

While the measure would create some protections, it would not resolve the legal tangle facing Google's Coelho or prevent the situation from recurring, Magrani said.

The Marco Civil is general legislation, and could still be trumped by more specific electoral laws. Those laws treat an Internet platform such as Google as if it were a newspaper or a television station, holding it responsible for its content.

"It's a very serious situation," Magrani said. "Brazil needs to change its electoral law to accommodate the nature and the characteristics of the Internet. The Internet cannot be treated in the same way as traditional media."

First, he said, an Internet company cannot evaluate all the content it carries in the same way a newspaper or television channel can because of the sheer volume.

Second, "the Internet has no editor. And we don't want an editor," Magrani said.

He said asking a company to determine what users can upload is a dangerous step that could undermine freedom of information.

"If we continue threatening to jail heads of companies who don't verify content before it goes on the Internet, we will end up living in a state of censorship," he said. "If the company is running a high risk, it'll start posting less and less material. ... If companies start to feel afraid of retaliation, they'll start censoring."

The lack of protections for Internet platforms can also have a chilling effect on the development of small- and medium-size high-tech companies in Brazil that don't have the resources of big companies like Google, Magrani said.

The federal government is investing heavily to promote the tech sector, but Brazilian legislators need to diminish legal risks for startups, he said.

Maria Clara Garcaz, a 20-year-old university student in Rio de Janeiro, expressed worries about the court action.

"It's like we live in a silent, disguised dictatorship. When we had our real dictatorship, at least you knew for certain what you could and couldn't say," Garcaz said. "Political speech can be censored at any time and it's moving into the Internet, exactly where people speak out."

China hits back at Japan PM's statement on islands

BEIJING (AP) ? China on Thursday attacked Japan's prime minister as obstinate and wrong for saying his nation won't compromise in their dispute over who owns tiny islands in the East China Sea.

Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda said in New York a day earlier that the islands are clearly an "inherent part of our territory, in light of history and international law." He said that issues over the islands should be resolved peacefully and by the rule of law.

"China is strongly disappointed and sternly opposes the Japanese leader's obstinacy regarding his wrong position" on the matter, Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said in a statement that repeated China's stance that Japan was ignoring historical facts and international laws.

"The country seriously challenges the post-war international order, but tries to take the rules of international law as a cover. This is self-deceiving," Qin said in a separate statement.

Senior diplomats from both countries have met this week in New York and Beijing in an attempt to mend ties frayed by the spat over the island group in the East China Sea known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.

The islands, held by Japan, are uninhabited but sit astride rich fishing waters and potentially large reserves of natural gas. They are also claimed by Taiwan.

Japan's purchase of some of the islands from their private Japanese owners two weeks ago sparked sometimes violent protests in China that targeted Japanese-owned stores and factories.

Noda defended the purchase as an attempt to ensure their "stable management," but conceded "it seems that China has yet to understand that."

A great sorrow, mixed with feelings of happiness ? grief part 2 ...

Let me explain. About 21 years ago, my wife and I were expecting our second child. It was a long-awaited sibling to our five-year old daughter. The pregnancy was normal, but the joy of a new baby suddenly turned into sorrow. Three days before the birth, the midwife could no longer hear the baby?s heartbeat. It was very difficult to understand the tragedy that had hit us so suddenly.?We got the advice from both the midwife and the doctor to give birth to the child as normal as possible. They asked us to go home over night, and return the next morning when we would meet the same staff again. We went home, called our relatives and friends, and told them that our new child was dead. We were in a state of chock.? A few hours later my wife suddenly went into labor, and we had to rush back to the hospital.

Back at the hospital, the midwife said to my wife ?Now you are going to give birth?. These words made us forget all about our worries, and turned our focus on being present in the moment. The birth itself was beautiful, one of the most beautiful moments in my life. My wife was breathing. I was breathing and the staff around us was breathing. However, my son Anton was stillborn. He was not breathing, or crying. The umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck four times, and it also had a knot on it.?We stayed over night, and the staff was incredibly supportive. Slowly we started to realize our loss. We took a lot of photos of Anton, cut off a piece of his hair to keep as a memory. They recommended us to give Anton a bath, and we did. Later I have learned that this practise helped us to sense the beauty of our beloved son with all our senses. This was a way to create memories, and to start the process of grief recovery.

That day and night when Anton was born, I was in deep sorrow.? The loss of a future, a future with my living son was enormous. But that night when I tried to go to sleep, I was also happy. I was as happy as any father to a new-born baby. Happiness mixed with grief. Thank you Karin, my wife, for all your support. Thank you Elin, for showing me how natural a child can handle grief. Thank you Moa, for breathing when you were born one year later.
// Leif Ericson, grief counsellor and coach ? guest blogger.
Leif, thank you for sharing your story, and thank you for being my friend.// Love Marianne

Under Erik's guidance, the site has hosted wildly popular "Ask Me Anything" interviews (President Obama, anyone?), grown its gift exchange program, and lead the fight against internet regulation. Somehow, Erik manages to stay sane and keep a low profile (though his spot on this year's Time 100 might change that). How does he do it? Ask him?Erik is chatting live now!

I've had a bunch of knee surgeries, so I'm a big standing desk user. I have an Ergatron adjustable standing desk with a laptop and external monitor.

New, emerging talent kicks off Paris Fashion Week

(AP) ? Fashion week in Paris is always a race against time.

Paris ? the last city after New York, London and Milan to host shows ? is offering up 95 frenetic catwalk spectacles back-to-back over eight days at opposite ends of the French capital.

So it's perhaps fitting that the spring-summer 2013 season got going behind a giant clock: The iconic timekeeper of Paris' grand Gare de l'Est train station. The setting may have been grand but the shows on the first day in Paris are often low-key, a showcase for emerging talent.

Young knitwear designer and Rick Owens alumnus Alice Lemoine emerged from the shadows of her former mentor to produce an unassuming but highly accomplished show in rich spring colors.

Belgian-born designer Anthony Vaccarello ? whose star has been on a rise since Gwyneth Paltrow graced the cover of Harper's Bazaar in one of his dresses ? delivered a slick and revealing show Tuesday, channeling black and white in an unusual summer collection.

South Korean designer Moon Young Hee also threw away the color wheel to produce a sophisticated, demure show, while Impasse de la Defense mixed bold colors with retro and street styles.

Wednesday's shows will include London's enfant terrible Gareth Pugh, Guy Laroche and Dries Van Noten.

IMPASSE DE LA DEFENSE

Post-punk design house Impasse de la Defense, tucked away behind the clock of the Gare de l'Est, got extra street cred as loud train announcements punctuated their colorful show.

Their eclectic and contemporary mix included vibrant patchwork dresses, outre tulle bridal skirts and large shawls printed with images of clock architecture. Their soundtrack ? a single harmonica played by a man who looked like a busker ? added a dash of boho insouciance to the many the casual, loose-fitting, splash-dyed dresses.

Designer Karim Bonnet said he was channeling German street style after a holiday there last summer ? but at times, the clock seemed to turn to '70s flower power. The imaginative prints of cameras and the spines of novels on large shawls were a notable success.

At times, though, the sheer size of the shawls ? which models had wrapped around them ? made them look clumsy.

LE MOINE TRICOTE

No longer just for grannies, knitwear has finally been made cool ? a youthful facelift courtesy of Le Moine Tricote.

Armed with two 12mm (half-inch) needles, a ball of wool and no rules, designer Alice Lemoine set about this collection with no idea what clothes she would make.

"I just let the needles lead and I make all sorts of different shapes and panels," Lemoine said backstage, wearing a wooly cardigan. "I then just fuse it together; not exactly patchwork, but the same process."

The result? An architectural ? and highly huggable ? display of some 14 soft, open knit looks ? set off with creative spirals, polygons and geometric shapes.

Lemoine gives freedom to the natural weight of wool ? producing some sumptuous effects, like one plunging gray and camel column dress. Lest we forget it's summer, it's all served up with a refreshing palette of sky blue, navy, pearl beige purple and white.

Splashes of delicate, tightly knitted silk alongside breezy organza undergarments and the occasional peplum was a new addition this season.

ANTHONY VACCARELLO

Sticking to black and white is one sure way to stand out in spring collections, which are famed for their use of color. But at the moment, it's not as if Anthony Vaccarello needs the attention. His recent fashion headlines include a design stint at Collette as part of Vogue's Fashion Night Out.

In this uber-sexy, color-free summer offering, the models' legs did the talking: Micro skirts with a tight, sweeped draping.

There was a distinct feeling of previous seasons' Milan shows ? plunging necklines, draped tops with eyelets and loose shoulder-strong jackets. At times, the draping invoked a Grecian toga look.

LG Venice

Boost Mobile has announced a new addition to their lineup, the LG Venice. The Venice will represent an attractive choice to customers who prefer a no contract phone, especially because it has decent specs for the price.

The Venice boasts:

  • 4.3-inch screen (with Gorilla Glass)
  • 1GHz processor
  • Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
  • LG Optimus 3.0 interface
  • 5MP camera
  • 720p video recording

The Venice will cost $219.99 and remember that Boost Mobile offers all of their devices with no contract. They also offer a $55/month unlimited plan. It will be available starting Oct. 10 at Boost Mobile retail stores, certain independent retailers and online. In late October, you'll be able to pick one up in select nationwide retailers.

The full press release is after the break.

Six Reasons Why Real Estate Trumps Investing in Stocks and Mutual

I experienced a drug induced hallucination when I was 10. Laughing gas from my dentist caused me to visualize colorful puzzle pieces crawling all over the ceiling of the exam room. Hopefully, you have never endured this ?wacky awake dreamlike state? but take my word for it, you feel out of control.

To this day, I still feel a lack of control when I?m in the dental chair. Someone else is put in charge of my mouth and calls all the shots. I just sit there trying to ?open wider.?

If you haven?t guessed, I like to be in control. I like choice and I like to feel responsible for my own mistakes. With real estate, you can be more in control than when investing in stocks, bonds or mutual funds. Below are a few reasons I choose real estate over securities every time.

1 ? Control Freak

Let?s look at rentals. Say you have a unit that is not renting quickly. You have direct control. You can decrease the rent. You can market more creatively. You can offer incentives to potential renters.

With stocks, you are at the mercy of a board of directors, portfolio managers and corporate executives. You can?t even distribute your own funds. Does that P&G Stock take your personal financial situation into account whenever they make decisions? Do they know that you pay extra property tax in February so it might be good to distribute more in the month of January. In a worst case scenario, what do you think the Enron folks could have done?

2 ? Options upon Options

With a real estate purchase, you have a ton of options. For me, I take a three-prong approach. I like to find property that is cheap enough to wholesale. If I can?t wholesale immediately, I can rehab it for a flip. If the flip takes too long, I can put a renter in the unit. With stocks, well, I guess I can buy or sell or well, sell or buy. But in either case, I don?t even control the daily price.

3 ? It?s Not All Greek to Me

The economy in Greece is not going to affect my rent rates here. Worldwide or even U.S. collective emotional shock is just not going to affect my little building that brings in cash flow every month. Granted national issues might affect my property values long-term, but only more localized trends that I can anticipate will affect my monthly bottom lines. My rental incomes have leases attached to them that don?t change overnight because China test fired some weaponry in the Taiwan Strait. If I buy right, I don?t have to worry about ?malaise,? market ?hysteria,? or even another 911.

4 ? Pass the Coke

If you own stock in Coca Cola, how can you better your stock?s price? Drink cases of the soda every day? With real estate, you can up your appraisal values and equity by changing the flooring, adding a garage, buying & updating more houses in the area or even convincing other investors to consider your investment neighborhood. You aren?t guaranteed to inflate your property value, but you can certainly help your chances much more than anything you can do to increase any stock prices.

5 ? A Rock Solid Building

Let?s say I wanted to invest in stocks for ?Trust Me Company.? To get a feel for Trust Me Company, I?d visit the Trust Me headquarters, manufacturing centers and office buildings. I?d meet Trust Me owners, board members and managing staff. How difficult would it be to do my due diligence on Trust Me Company? If I invest in real estate, however, due diligence is simple. The asset is tangible; I can actually touch it. I can go check out the building in one location or area. I can touch the foundation, drive around the neighborhood, double check area crime records, do a rent analysis and bring in a professional inspector. In a handful of hours, I can get an excellent feel for the viability of a rental property.

6 ? Managing the Managers

I can opt to have a property manager handle a lot of the day to day stuff with my rentals. But even with a property manager, I still have control. I can make decisions and even fire the property manager. How do I fire the CEO of my stock? Can I renegotiate terms with the managing members of my mutual fund? How much weight does my little proxy vote have for my bond fund?

Real estate brings investors a sense of control. With that control, you can be creative and have fun with your investment. When I invested in securities, I did like updating my portfolio but I didn?t get to do anything other than buy and sell. I know some people like to have others control their destiny and of course real estate is probably not for you. But for those who want control of their finances, real estate tops stocks hands down.
