Subject: In Russia, you don't watch You Tube, You Tube watches you!
Written By: JamieMcBain on 07/29/10 at 10:11 am
Russia's blogosphere reacted with anger today after a regional court banned YouTube because it carried a single video containing "extremist" content.
The court in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in Khabarovsk region in the Russian far east ordered Rosnet, a local internet provider, to block YouTube as well as three online libraries and a website that archives deleted web pages.
The regional ban was made because YouTube hosted Russia For Russians, an ultra-nationalist video which was added to the justice ministry's federal list of banned extremist materials after a separate court decision in Samara region in November.

Stalin would set up a Facebook page. Then he would have everybody who friended him investigated. If they had an unlicensed computer, the secret police would seize it, and send the owner to the gulag!
