YouTube site 'blocked' in Morocco

Internet users in Morocco who have been unable to access YouTube have voiced concern that it is being deliberately blocked by the authorities. The BBC reports.

"Many Moroccans have been unable to see the video-sharing site since 25 May. A spokesman for the Moroccan government said he could not comment on telecommunications issues, the Associated Press news agency reported.

Some people have linked the problem to videos critical of Morocco's actions in Western Sahara, a disputed territory which Morocco took control of in 1975."
