Bangladesh government has banned the YouTube website. The action is taken because Google, the owner of YouTube, has denied to remove the anti-Islamic video from the YouTube website. Almost all of the country support this action.
It is not certain when this ban will be lifted. But few more points need to be resolved before YouTube is opened again. Recently I intended to download some bangla chhora (rhymes) for my little daughter. I just typed 'Bangla' in YouTube search box and I was surprised seeing the phrases YouTube suggested me. Those are the bangla words related with pornographic industry.
Furthermore, when I was viewing a bangla rhyme, YouTube showed preview of some related videos on the right side. Most of those videos are titled with very much vulgar bangla words. The preview images of those videos were very much offensive and adult oriented. How our children will see the videos on YouTube if such videos are shown on sidebar?
It seems YouTube doesn't have any filtering system to restrict the use of vulgar bangla words in title and description of the videos. We demand YouTube must enforce an effective filtering system to restrict the use of vulgar bangla phrases before the ban is lifted.
