Is it right that the entire should be blocked from seeing videos because they are offensive?
Surely if people find them offensive they can just not go on the site and there is no need to block it.

What do you think?

i'm from pakistan, and while i dont live there at the moment i think its pretty damn rediculous that they've banned youtube. apparently people complained to their ISPs about that video, and that is just plain dumb of them because the ISPs have nothing to do with whats on websites.

I agree... there are videos on youtube and the internet abusing every race and culture.

If you wanted to get technical if they ban youtube, they should ban the internet from the country, theres more stuff on the world wide web than Youtube.

Just seems silly to me.

It's quite funny how them blocking YouTube made the site go down globally for about an hour - a friend of mine noticed when he was trying to search on it.
I don't care if they block it really, but it sorta pissed me off that they shut the site down globally and rewired it to themselves - I think the internet may still be down in Pakistan, because they couldn't handle YouTube's traffic.

as far as that outage was concerned, how could they do something like that?  unless they controlled some major DNS router, i can't see how the two events were related.  even if they did control a biggie DNS, it still wouldn't cause a global blockage...

This is just an example of how screwed up their priorities are.  They are offended by cartoons when there are numerous other videos depicting porn and excessive violence.
