🇧🇷 Brazil targets YouTube casino tutorials

Brazil’s Attorney General’s Office (AGU) has told Google to remove YouTube channels allegedly teaching users how to build illegal online casinos and market jogo do bicho, the country’s outlawed animal-betting lottery. The move follows findings by fact-checking agency Agência Lupa and a notice prepared by AGU’s democracy protection unit. ⚖️📺 Why it matters: Brazil is signalling tougher enforcement not only against illegal operators, but also against the digital ecosystem enabling them. AGU says the content may breach Brazil’s 1941 criminal law, Law 14.790/2023 and YouTube’s own gambling rules, warning Google could face shared civil liability if it fails to act. 🎯
