Required Blog-Thailand Bans YouTube
After reading through the "Slashdot-New for news" blog, the article concerning Thailand's banning of YouTube caught my attention. The website was banned due to a 44 second clip of the defacing of the kings portrait. I feel that countries like this are wasting their time with the petty domestic issues like this. It also reminds me that freedom of speech plays a vital role for our freedom as US citizens. The introduction of YouTube has drastically altered the Marketing society and has given people a broader view of what businesses have to offer. Countries like Thailand will always be restricted towards having access to websites like these. You can read more about this topic at YouTube banned

I definately agree that this decision in Thailand about banning YouTube is a important reminder to us in the US about how important freedom of speech is. Even though individuals to tend to post information that maybe borderline inappropriate, it does continue to be an important part of information technology in marketing.
