New Delhi: After government’s request, video sharing website YouTube has removed the controversial BBC documentary on Delhi gangrape – India’s daughter’ in the country. The YouTube link in India gives the message, “This content is not available on this country domain due to a court order.”
The government had asked the video sharing website to remove it as it termed it as a “very sensitive matter”. This move comes after the BBC went ahead and released the documentary on Wednesday night in the UK and also uploaded it on the YouTube despite the Indian government’s request.
According to sources, Communications and IT Ministry had told YouTube that the issue is very sensitive and it should review its position on the matter, and remove it from the website.
Commenting on the move YouTube spokesperson had said “While we believe that access to information is the foundation of a free society and that services like YouTube help people express themselves and share different points of view, we continue to remove content that is illegal or violates our community guidelines, once notified,”
