In which we attempt to slip one past the "do no evil" evil doers
Did you know that governments can and do ask YouTube to remove certain videos?
The US and the UK are the biggest customers of this "service."
How it works.
If you live in the UK, you are not supposed to see part of this video.
Does it contain pornography, graphic violence or slander?
Nope.
It contains a document of something that happened in a public place.
The UK government - bless its dark black space where a heart would normally be - asked it's good friend, the "do no evil" guys at Google not to let you see it (if you're access the Internet in the UK that is.)
What's all the fuss about?
Is the UK government afraid it will give its citizens ideas?
Hmmm....I guess we only partially succeeded. Notice how there are no ads on this page?
