Late Friday night, a Moroccan in Washington D.C. broke the news that YouTube had been blocked in Morocco... 'Au début était le blog'...expressed dismay over the censure:... "The YouTube site is quite simply censored in Morocco by Maroc Telecom, [51%-owned] subsidiary of the Vivendi multinational [Vivendi Universal]! You read correctly: censorship still occurs in Morocco."... Youssef at Maghrebism [a website, wrote:]..."Vivendi Universal has its own department of Sustainable Development, promoting dialogue and social responsibility. Clearly they don’t promote that through the block of a major website?"
