- YouTube is blocked in several countries. Pakistan blocked YouTube on February 23, 2008 over concerns that there were videos offensive to the Islamic faith. Three days later, the ban was removed as YouTube took the offending material down and now again it is blocked due to same reason in many countries.
- Many schools have also begun to ban access to YouTube.
- The main criticism of YouTube is that it allows people to upload any content that infringes copyright. YouTube has been subject of a number of lawsuits as companies claim that YouTube should do more to block people uploading copyrighted videos. In response, YouTube has added a ‘digital fingerprint’ system that checks videos that are uploaded against the original content.
