Thailand to lift ban on YouTube

The Information and Communication Technology Ministry said that Thai-based internet users will again be allowed to access hundreds of websites including YouTube, the popular video-sharing website, after it had been blocked for several months.

The ministry in early April began blocking the popular video-sharing website after it showed a sequence of video clips considered insulting to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. [via The Bangkok Post]
