Egypt seems to be doing it long-term threat to ban it temporarily it YouTube. The country's highest administrative court ruled that the site should be blocked for a month after allowing the anti-Islamic film Innocence of Muslims to be shown in 2012.
The low-budget, 13-minute short film depicted the Prophet Muhammad, causing outrage across the Islamic world. In Egypt, in 2013, a judicial system was launched race with the demand of banning the film, but all the judicial procedure, including appeals against the first decision, took five years.
According to Reuters, YouTube has not yet commented on the decision of the Supreme Court, which has not entered into force after it has to be written. Unlike 2013, this decision is final and can not be overturned.
To some extent, the ban has lost its intended purpose, and YouTube itself has also changed since 2012, becoming more willing to isolate or remove video hatred. But it is still a punishment that is an attempt to change YouTube's policy, which will unfortunately affect millions of people's jobs and freedom of movement of ideas.
