Last time they were blocked was due to a pro-Tibetan video. I’m surprised they allow YouTube at all. Seems they probably found ANOTHER video.
Of course I feel this is probably just China’s way of saying Google hasn’t paid them enough money for access yet.
Access to Google Inc.’s YouTube service was blocked by Chinese authorities, as the video-sharing site continues to wrestle with governments offended by some of its content.
A YouTube spokesman said as of Tuesday evening it hadn’t been contacted by the Chinese government and was working to restore the service, which had been disrupted for more than 24 hours.
The site has been temporarily censored in at least a dozen countries, according to YouTube, including Turkey, where a ban remains in effect. Such incidents are buffeting YouTube’s attempts to expand into new markets, particularly China, home to the world’s largest number of Internet users—nearly 300 million, according to the government.
