Russian Court Bans YouTube

A court in Komsomolsk-on-Amur (in the Russian Far East) ordered the local internet provider to block access of internet users to five web sites that were found to contain “extremist materials.” The claim was filed by the city prosecutor. One of the sites to be blocked is Youtube.com, beacause it contains a video clip “Russia for Russians” that was found extremist in an earlier trial. The court rejected the provider's argument that it may not restrict a user’s access to information.
