TITLE: Brazil's Attorney General's Office Demands Google Remove Unauthorized Gambling Tutorial Videos from YouTube
BODY:
On July 3, 2026, Brazil's Attorney General's Office (AGU) sent an extrajudicial notification to Google demanding the immediate removal of YouTube profiles promoting tutorials on creating unauthorized betting platforms and illegal gambling operations in Brazil.
The notification originated from the National Prosecutor's Office for the Defense of Democracy (PNDD) and targets content teaching viewers how to establish casino platforms without authorization and marketing strategies for "jogo do bicho," an illegal lottery. The AGU said the measure seeks to "combat violations of national legislation and ensure compliance with decisions of the Supreme Federal Court (STF)." According to the AGU, the channels involved present themselves as digital marketing companies but promote unregulated gambling and encourage criminal conduct. The notification identifies systematic circulation of such materials as presenting risks to information integrity and consumer protection, with potential connections to tax evasion and money laundering. The content was identified through an investigation conducted by Agência Lupa, a fact-checking agency.
The AGU warned that failure to remove the content may generate joint civil liability for Google. The notification emphasizes that the tutorials and marketing materials violate Brazilian legislation governing online gambling operations and contravene Supreme Court decisions on gambling regulation.
Google had not publicly responded to the notification as of the update date. The action reflects Brazil's ongoing regulatory efforts to combat unauthorized gambling operations and protect consumers from unregulated betting platforms operating outside the country's licensing framework.
