Write letters to newspapers asking them to take a chance and be more aware of corruption. There are many other ways corruption is stopped, but blocking the Internet is not one of them. Sites like Youtube allow corruption to be stopped if anything.For example, what if you knew of a corrupt state worker. You knew that he was driving a Mercedes Benz, and that he had a house way over his pay grade. A video could be made mocking him, and posted on Youtube. The video would spread like wild fire, and the publicity would be bad for him. No one wants that kind of exposure.It's a information tool, and it can work both ways. Use it.There are always ways around a government block, so what use is it for the government to do so? It only hurts the children and other users that use the site for educational purposes.

Sharing those type of videos will help spread the corruption if anyone would wanna argue with me go and watch some if not all the videos posted by Moroccan, simply garbidge and insult to the king is that called freedom speech and how is youtube you will help promote it. I think it helps demote the moral and help in corrupting Moroccans.

Live Journal I dont know!

Youtube is either because of Western Sahara video (I will not call propaganda because if they were propaganda than why be weak, overreact and ban people from viewing it! why not promote Moroccan Sahara videos in response! and most Western Sahara video are filled with Moroccan commentators saying its Moroccan anyway)

Or because there was this video made-by-algerian or polisario mocking the king and showing him as a Hitler kind of king which can be shocking towards Moroccan…

but then they could have asked youtube to delete it because of terrorism incitement instead of baning youtube!

The video is still in there! this will make even more people make videos like this! and just shows how weak our governement is and our cause for western sahara is :-(
