New troubles for YouTube

After the recent victory of YouTube in Turkey, where the online video site was banned two days ago, new problems seem to come upon Google’s service. Since today the ban in Turkey was removed but numerous users from Thailand reported that the YouTube site cannot be accessed.

Surfers in Thailand say they are redirected to the Ministry of Communication and Technology (MICT) site when they want to access YouTube. MICT is the Internet censorship organism in Thailand, but until no there was now official reason for the ban.

I don’t necessarily support YouTube but I think people have the right to be free to watch whatever they want so I hope problems like this will be passed one way or the other.
