In Thailand, it was blocked because of offending the government. You tube said that the site had not done any illegal thing. There are materials that are offensive materials on the grounds of race, religious things, sex, and terrible violence. They need to use editorial power and have responsibility. This article’s problems are bad influence, responsibility, and relationships with another countries.
