One response to “Would Maggie have blocked YouTube in the UK?”

China has blocked news.bbc.co.uk (but not http://www.ccn.com) for many years. Considering how frankly difficult this is, it would be intriguing to see how the decision was taken.
Crazy and nasty as she was, I susepect the Mrs T was too clever to think any such blocking attempt would be successful. Although she didn’t figure out that the only thing that might make anyone read “spycatcher” was a governement ban.
The same’s true of these other countries. But before we get smug about it, we should ask ourselves just how much information the ISPs are giving the government about our behaviour. Perhaps privacy is more important than access?
