We got a report from a site that Bangladesh government has banned YouTube along with some other sites like esnips, uploadmp3. Though, those are not any confirmed source. These types of report say that, Bangladesh government is using cheap firewall tricks to block some Social Media sites for Audio, Video, and news site. In recent times some leaked out Audio conversation between Prime Minister Shekh Hasina and Bangladesh Army was hosted in these sites. Instead of reporting to these sites government has banned them.
In the beginning lots of people and different media of Bangladesh reported these problems and they thought it might be some server problems. YouTube, eSnips etc are very popular and helpful services all over the world and Bangladesh is not dissimilar from them. If Bangladesh government thinks any particular Audio and Video harmful for their society they could straightly ask for YouTube to remove them.
Now every Bangladeshi wishes that their government will realize the situation very soon and remove any kind of blockage to these sites.
Last Update: YouTube is finally unblocked in Bangladesh after 4 days.
