The country of Pakistan has blocked access to YouTube due to cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed that appeared on the Danish newspaper last year. Islamic religious law says that no one can make a visual representation of Mohammaed, and when cartoons appeared in a Danish newspaper a year ago it showed his turban replaced by a bomb. A year later the newspaper revisted the issue and set off new problems.
Apparently a lot of countries have joined the trend of blocking YouTube. I wonder if the United States would ever go this far. I doubt it considering it’s free speech and free press. There are already a number of videos on YouTube that could be banned worthy, so therefore I don’t think the United States would go as far as to block YouTube from the country.
