YouTube Blocked in Syria
YouTube is blocked in Syria. Unlike Iran with Facebook, there is no question that it is an official ban-and-block by the Syrian government. According to Ammar Abdulhamid of Tharwa and Hamsa and a fellow at the Brookings Institution, the nature of the block is clear.
There is a report in Arabic on blocked sites that clearly identifies YouTube as one of the blocked sites. Also, there are several public reports referring to directives from the Syrian Ministry of Information prohibiting Syrians from publishing any webposts on an anonymous basis and threatening legal actions against all Syrian sites that publish anonymous reports.
