Pakistan Tries to Block YouTube and Shuts it Down for the World
You really ought to read this CNET blogpost for background.
Security experts speculate on YouTube outage | Tech news blog - CNET News.com
CNET is reporting that Pakistan was allegedly trying to block YouTube due to some content offensive to Muslims. In the process, they took out YouTube worldwide for over two hours yesterday, February 24th, 2008.
So, let me get this straight…this is possible? What the? How can this be? Does this make anyone else just a little nervous? I mean YouTube is owned by Google, AKA Masters Of The Internets!!! How fragile is everything else in the Internet if Google can’t keep its sites up?
By the way, legislating morality doesn’t work, but that is another discussion all together.
