Dear friends,
I;m asking the people of the South Coast, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottinghamshire, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool , Sheffield and all over the world to please forward the below information and let the world know it is unethical for the Bangladesh Government to censor Free media access for their people after an incident involving the murder of over 70 people!
Love for the people,
T. Love Black man f.l.u.f.f. You can also find this as an Mp3 audio recording and on my podcast or click here to subscribe to the Itunes subscription: http://tinyurl.com/link2itunes
YouTube ban confirmed
It’s not possible to access the popular website youtube (www.youtube.com) from Bangladesh. From yesterday (Saturday), a large number of internet users called Prothom Alo to inform about this. A number of internet service provider in the country confirmed this. Apparently, the internet gateway that is used to access the submarine fibre optic cable from Bangladesh, controlled by the Bangladesh Telecom Company Ltd (BTCL), blocks youtube’s IP address. As a result, this popular website is not accessible from Bangladesh.
More info below:
DHAKA (AFP) — Bangladesh has blocked the video sharing website YouTube for hosting a recorded conversation between the newly elected prime minister and the country's powerful army officers, officials said Sunday.
The violence in the capital Dhaka 10 days ago left at least 74 people dead including 56 army officers who were butchered and buried in shallow graves by mutinous border guards.

Britain is behind a censorship firewall as well, run by the Internet Watch Foundation - it got revealed recently after they made the mistake of blocking a Wikipedia page and fucking up British users' access to Wikipedia.
YouTube also censors btw, mostly when politically motivated critics post false complaints (e.g. Scientology vs their critics), but I've also seen pretty innocuous anarchist vids rated as "adults only", presumably for showing clashes with police. Similar images of clashes in news reports on Youtube are NOT so classified, and they appear on TV news pre-watershed, so the politics is evidently the determining thing.

Basically: Fuck Youtube - you're an idiot if you think it's the friend of the hidden message.
