I was watching BBC World News Monday and they said Sunday night Pakistan blocked Youtube in Pakistan, but then shut it down around the world for two hours.
The story Did anyone try to go on youtube on Sunday and couldn't get on? Just wondering. |

I hate BBC... it's sometimes legit... but most of the time it's full of SHIT!!
How the hell can a government or a person or a country or anyone who's not an account holder or registrar, or host be able to shut down a website? They can't. Only the account holder (youtube owner) or registrar or hosting company can "shut down/suspend" a website/domain. People... use common sense and tell BBC to shut itself down. |

QUOTE(S-Majere @ Feb 26 2008, 05:10 PM) Uh, it's fairly simple to do. No... unless the website is used in terms of scamming people, terrorist communications, piracy, child pornography, bestiality, or child romance stories. NO one has the right to shut down a website. Unless of course the person impersonated the account holder and discontinued their services. And now a days that's nearly impossible because of the verification process. Even if someone was able to hack into the website, the worst they can do is delete all the data that was held in the server, but not even that would do anything because people now a days save their copies (websites) onto the host's server, which refreshes after so many seconds anyways. So no, it's not simple... now a days it's nearly impossible. Unless the site is some personal owned site and they have their own web server. =\ |
