Please reinstate YouTube
It is unfortunate that YouTube was banned in Bangladesh due to circumstances for which no one from here were responsible. As far as I know, no one really watched that video here and the only reason for violence in Bangladesh was because other Muslim countries reacted and Muslims in Bangladesh followed them. No one could give me a clear description of what the video was really about. All they said was it was a stupid video. I think our people are being more stupid reacting to something they know nothing about.
YouTube is used for educational purposes. I was also very pleased to find old songs and even old movies which my parents used to listen to 30 years ago, and the songs brought back so many memories.
I urge the government to consider people's sufferings and only filter what requires filtering instead of banning the whole network. The government is trying to create a "Digital Bangladesh". In this case I believe it is a step backwards.
