More Google censorship

This time it’s video, according to Andrew Orlowski at the Register:

The internet search giant’s video service is blocking US viewers from seeing an innocuous piece of Iraq footage that Google delivers to internet users in the rest of the world without any problems…

Google has little cause to prohibit the clip on grounds of taste – after all, under the banner of promoting “citizens media”, it cheerfully serves up “happy slapping” footage of school thugs beating up science students, and some impressive ejaculation shots from porn videos.

Update
Paul points out that the no-US thing was the uploader’s choice, not Google’s. And he has a link to prove it.
