Egypt seems to be doing it long-term threat to ban it temporarily YouTube. The top management court of the country ruled that the site should be blocked for a month, after allowing in 2012 the projection of the anti-Islamic film Innocence of Muslims.
This particular 13, short, low-budget, film depicted the Prophet Muhammad, which provoked indignation throughout the Islamic world. In Egypt, the 2013 court action began with the requirement to ban the film, but the whole court case, including appeals against the first decision, lasted 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.
