Webmaster Video Comments: WTF? So that's why youtube was down yesterday. How? What? Who's to blame for this accident? Can youtubia be safe anymore?This is hard-hitting reportage from your number one news source. Mr.E the movie mogul. How did I become a newsman? I stole it off the web!Note: this video is free and nonprofit, I don't earn any money from your viewing. Watch as many times as you want! ;7)Service on Google Inc.'s YouTube site was disrupted around the world for several hours Sunday after a botched effort by the Pakistan government to block access to a video clip critical of Islam.The incident, which is still being investigated by YouTube, underscores the vulnerability of the global communications infrastructure. The unusual circumstances surrounding the breakdown also point to the growing role sites like YouTube have played in spreading politically charged content -- including in Pakistan, a nation that is already a tinderbox of political tensions.The story began unfolding Friday when the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority, the nation's telecom regulator, ordered Pakistan's Internet service providers to immediately block access to a specific YouTube video which it said was so incendiary it could trigger riots. A senior official at the authority said it also contacted YouTube, requesting that the site remove the video. The PTA argued the clip was a violation of YouTube's terms of service, which ban hate speech. YouTube has since removed the clip. The site says it does not comment on reasons for removing specific videos.Pakistan Blocks Access to YouTubeWall Street Journal hour agoAccording to several people familiar with the matter the company only meant to block YouTube within Pakistan But erroneous handling of PTCL's routersPakistan Blocks YouTube SlashdotPakistan blocks YouTube RegisterPakistan blocks YouTube for 'blasphemous' content officials AFPMarketWatch CNN InternationalallPakistan government blocks YouTubeVNUNet com UK hour agoA knockon effect from the ban caused some worldwide problems for YouTube Google the site's owner said that the site was unavailable for two hours inPakistan blocks YouTube over antiIslamic contentSan Diego Union Tribune United StatesBy Sadaqat Jan AP ISLAMABAD Pakistan -- Pakistan's government has banned access to the videosharing Web site YouTube because of antiIslamic movies thatPakistan YouTube Block Breaks the WorldSlashdotAllen noted a followup to yesterday's story about Pakistan's decision to block YouTube He notes that "The telecom company that carries most of Pakistan'sPakistan takes out YouTube ZDNet BlogsPakistan removed from the Internet ZDNet BlogsallPakistan Blocks YouTube Website As Content Deemed Offensive ToRTT News NYPM Pakistan telecommunications authority ordered Internet service providers to block the YouTube Website until further noticePakistan Asks Local ISP's to Block Youtube ToTheCenter comMohammed Cartoon Outrage Spurs Pakistan to Ban YouTube AppscoutallPakistan Blocks YouTubeHard OCP TXSo we all know that the Muslim Faith takes a poor view of improper depiction of the prophet Mohammad but to block YouTube entirely over it?Pakistan Block Accidentally Takes YouTube Down GloballyNewTeeVee CAAccording to multiple accounts the problem seems to have originated by an apparent mistake by Pakistan Telecom which posted a redirect for YouTube's IPYouTube Suffers Downtime Pakistan Telecom To Blame?
