Service on Google Inc.'s YouTube site was disrupted around the world for several hours Sunday after a botched effort by the Pakistan government to block access to a video clip critical of Islam.

The incident, which is still being investigated by YouTube, underscores the vulnerability of the global communications infrastructure. The unusual circumstances surrounding the breakdown also point to the growing role sites like YouTube have played in spreading politically charged content -- including in Pakistan, a nation that is already a tinderbox of political tensions.

The story began unfolding Friday when the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority, the nation's telecom regulator, ordered Pakistan's Internet service providers to immediately block access to a specific YouTube video which it said was so incendiary it could trigger riots. A senior official at the authority said it also contacted YouTube, requesting that the site remove the video. The PTA argued the clip was a violation of YouTube's terms of service, which ban hate speech. YouTube has since removed the clip. The site says it does not comment on reasons for removing specific videos.

Why do you say "crack head?".

There is no justification for that rude remark. He is only stating the facts!

It is easy to re-direct everything. At the drop of a hat we can be re-directed into oblivion. Imagine the complexity of the issue. Internet terrorism can be as damaging as any explosions. No damage physically,but mentally ,& financially,peoples lives can be destroyed. The end result is it affects you physically from the drain. We must get them out of our head,in order to be free.
