YouTube logo REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson The Attorney General's Office (AGU) reported this Friday (3) that it had extrajudicially notified Google in Brazil, asking for the immediate removal of profiles on YouTube that promote and facilitate the creation of betting platforms not authorized to operate in the country. The measure, said the AGU in a statement, seeks to "combat the affront to national legislation and ensure compliance with decisions of the Federal Supreme Court (STF)". ??

The agency added that the videos were published on YouTube and identified based on an investigation carried out by Agência Lupa.
According to Union lawyers, the profiles call themselves digital marketing companies, but they freely propagate unregulated gambling and encourage practices that constitute criminal misdemeanors. In the notification, the AGU warns that the systematic circulation of these materials represents a threat to the integrity of information and consumer protection, and may be linked to crimes such as tax evasion and money laundering. "Failure to remove content may result in joint civil liability for the platform," he added. When contacted by Reuters in Brazil, Google did not respond immediately.
