Why was YouTube banned from Indonesia? First I couldn’t believe it is true, but later I found out it is true, and the truth was scary. I think that actions like this are very repressive and that they cannot be justified by any rational reason. This kind of action is just the means of control in totalitarian societies. Does anyone have more precise info?

I must agree with you when it comes to these matters. I think that a government of shouldn’t be allowed to ban the access to any sites to its citizens. Internet is also regulated by law, right, and everyone who violetes it, will be held guilty. As for the reason of this ban, I think that it was some 16 minute long movie that causes all the problems. If I recall it right, the movie was called “Fitna” and it was filmed by Dutch anti-Islamist Geert Wilders. And, it was not only YouTube that was banned; it was also MySpace and Rapid Share I think. Terrible, I dare say.
