YouTube banned

YouTube may appear to be the all-power source of free information, but that is not so everywhere in the world, it appears. Thailand banned access to the site to its citizens because of a video posted that negatively depicts the country's monarch. The Communications Minister claims that the government asked YouTube to take the video off the site, and when YouTube didn't accomodate its demand, the country banned the entire site. Apparently, not even YouTube can offer complete freedom of the press to all. View the article here: http://www.reuters.com/article/internetNews/idUSBKK17066320070404
