Youtube Shutdown in Egypt


Although it has probably faded from the minds of most Americans, the film "Innocence of Muslims" is in the spotlight again in Egypt, as the film has triggered a one month shutdown of Youtube in the country.

Apparently, the case has been going on for many months, and the ruling has just been made.

I find it interesting that this ruling is occurring so long after the actual event, and far after it has faded from the minds of most people. In internet time, a month is a lifetime, five months is an eternity.
