5 Alternatives to YouTube Where It Is Banned!

youtube alternatives 2012It was recently seen that due to the upload of anti-Islamic Movie, The Innocence of The Muslims, Many Muslim Countries banned YouTube, along with some other Google Services in the country. Although appeals were made initially to the Google team for the removal of such clips but the team was reluctant to do so, resulting in 20,000 IPs been blocked in countries, including Pakistan.

It has been a more than a month now that the countries have not removed their ban from YouTube, giving a serious situation to the owners of this Largest Video Sharing Website. However, it is true to state that it is not only the West which is suffering; in fact the locals of these Muslim countries are deprived of one of the most useful services on net.

  1. I was looking for some alternatives of youtube 2 days back. I dont know what is sense behind blocking the youtube. Gov. should block the controversial URLs, they are unable to make people happy and now doing these types of stunts. My lecturers are getting late, how many people were making earning from youtube, many of them need youtube for research. I can write a whole post on it, look this is the problem of being a blogger 🙂 ….. But leave it. Good blog and nice post. Nida!

      Good to find new visitors are joining us. Well as a matter of fact, i personally agree with every word you have just stated. As a student myself, i have been going through the same created mess and being a software engineer, It irritates me more here that when we can block the respective IPs for those videos, what’s the sense behind blocking an entire site.
      Pleased to know that we have another blogger joining us as a reader.

      Happy blogging,
