A court in Egypt on Saturday ordered that video-sharing website YouTube be blocked for a month for hosting a highly blasphemous film that triggered deadly outrage across the Muslim world last year. The court ruled the authorities must take measures to block access to the site for a month, after a complaint by an Egyptian who accused YouTube of being a "threat to social peace" by putting the US-made film on line.
YouTube, a subsidiary of US Internet giant Google, has been blocked in Pakistan since December for refusing to heed Islamabad's call to remove the controversial video.
