My Way News - Pakistan Causes Worldwide YouTube Outage
AP reports: "On Friday, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority ordered 70 Internet service providers to block access to YouTube.com, because of anti-Islamic movies on the video-sharing site, which is owned by Google Inc."

Comment: It's scary that a country with a religious and ideological agenda can disrupt global internet service. Think about this: an Islamic country seeking to prevent people from watching anti-Islamic movies on a video-sharing site has the power to prevent you from watching those movies...even if you are not in that country. What's to prevent them from targeting pro-Christian movies?
