Google will work with Thailand to censor YouTube videos
It looks like Google is working with Thai officials to bring YouTube back to Thailand. Government officials had blocked access to YouTube earlier after users had posted a video mocking the country's king.The video in question showed an picture of King Bhumibol Adulyadej superimposed with images, including a pair of women's feet. The users removed the video after the government ban was put in place.
Now Google has agreed to help Thailand limit access to individual videos that the government finds offensive. Rather than removing the videos entirely, the videos will not be viewable in Thailand. Google officials say that removing single videos might not have helped, as users would be able to upload the files again.
Since the original clip was posted, several other videos designed to insult the Thai leader have been posted on YouTube.
