Thailand bans YouTube
News: Thailand banned YouTube in its country after YouTube refused to remove a video mocking the Thai King.
Analysis: YouTube’s position seems inconsistent with its removal of a video disparaging the founder of Turkey (story here). I wonder why the Turkish government gets its request honored by YouTube, but not the Thai government?
UPDATE: The offending video was taken down, apparently, by the person who posted it. The Thai government, however, is still banning YouTube because there’s a still photo apparently mocking the King that’s still up on YouTube. More here.
