YouTube not Loved in Russia’s Far East…
YouTube...
Medvedev just started a video area on YouTube and then this pops up last week. I find it interesting that countries are having internet issues such as America shutting down 73,000 blogs on a site last week (They deny it though! 
) China and Google go round and round. Now this, Russia and YouTube…
The Central District Court of Russia‘s Far East city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur has ordered a local Internet provider to block access to five websites, including Youtube, for spreading extremist materials, a court spokesman told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.
“The court ordered the Rosnet provider to block access to Youtube, as well as to lib.rus.ec, thelib.ru, zhurnal.ru and web.archive.org, which contain open materials included in the federal list of extremist literature,” he said.
With the exception of Youtube, all the remaining sites are electronic libraries. “In particular, Adolf Hitler‘s Mein Kampf could be found in the electronic libraries’ websites,” the spokesman said.
The Komsomolsk-on-Amur Prosecutor’s Office filed a lawsuit after investigating the website content.
Rosnet on Wednesday appealed the decision.
“Representatives of our company have repeatedly offered… representatives of the Prosecutor General‘s office… ways of blocking extremist content by turning to the hosting providers and owners of websites or the authors of the [extremist] issues. But our proposals were neglected,” Rosnet’s press release said.
Several countries attempt to impose censorship on the world’s largest websites. Pakistan blocked Youtube in February 2008 over “sacrilegious content.” Last year, China blocked Youtube on its territory. (RIA Novosti)

What a Moron!
"Then he met a professor who told him of a future in which people could think… and Guy Montag suddenly realized what he had to do!" – Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451, 1951
I love Ray Bradbury and have probably read all his books.That is a good quote! I need to get a copy of that book again and reread…
So much of the writings from that past are so appropriate now.
Thanks

Well the fact is YouTube has changed so much I do not like it either. So it is hard for me to criticize Russia for not liking it also. YouTube ain’t what it use to be!
A Russian court has demanded that a Russian ISP block access to YouTube, as well as the Internet Archive and three online libraries, for hosting extremist videos and writings by Adolf Hitler, respectively.
Russia joins a growing list of governments who have blocked access to the video hosting site, including China, Brazil, Indonesia, Iran, Morocco, Pakistan, Tunisia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates. YouTube material has also been censored in the U.S. and U.K.
YouTube Sucks!
Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!
Youtube not loved by me either. It dont like me either!
I know this is really boring and you are skip to the next comment, but I just wanted to give you a big thanks – you cleared up some things for me! I really think that YouTube is needing to be banned because of the bowing down to corporate rules. It has lost its need in todays society and I for one refuse to upload anymore videos to it.
