Now, the site is back up.

For those actually reading this, I wonder what would happen if a bunch of people posted “I HATE BUSH” videos… With some USA flag burning going on.

Would that effectively mean that YouTube USA would go down ?

Why is Turkey different than any other country ?

Vint Cerf, a Google Senior Exec, said:

“This is a classic example of what happens in extremely open environments where everyone has an opportunity to produce content and to put it up on the net.”

How insightful.
You think the ban would have been lifted so quickly if Google was not involved?
