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:

The AFP reports:

Bangladesh blocks YouTube over mutiny tape: govt source

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.

This will probably last a few days, the same thing has happened briefly in dozens of countries but they back off after bad publicity... if it persists though, there's plenty of ways around web censorship, either use software such as Tor, or redirect proxy sites such as Anonymouse or Megaproxy.

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.

OK - if you have an afternoon to get your 'censored' message out: use Wikileaks, upload to rapidshare with links posted to online forums, and if you get the chance upload to the Torrent network using Mininova (no registration required). You could even use Onion Routing (TOR) to upload something small like this using Torrent, though it may be against the spirit of things.

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