Dear Sala,<br><br>I agree with you that we can make a statement together. As far as I know Indian government has also blocked YouTube.<br>This is a global Internet Governance issue. With WCIT approaching, Governments will definitely raise this issue. So, if we donot play our parts governments will vote for content filtering.<br>
