YouTube filters content by country?
I was trawling my Twitter today and came across some links that I'd like to follow through. One of those was this, which turns out to be a YouTube address. I have no idea what video it linked to because I was shown the following page instead (see pic below).
It says the video is not available in my country (Indonesia).
I'm fully aware of YouTube cooperating with some governments regarding contents of sensitive nature, notably the video that had apparently insulted the King of Thailand and the more famous Fitna video which insulted many Muslims worldwide but I wasn't aware that such agreement would cover entire categories. As far as I can tell, YouTube only contain videos equivalent up to an M rating on the US content advisory scale.
So what video was that and why was it blocked to viewers with Indonesian IP?
Or so it seems. I have not tried other computers or other net connections.
