    Yes, I did post this on the Acciato.com forum first.

    That's simply retarded. They have no right to filter our own private conversations. What's the point in using MSN.

    Pretty sure it was just a dropped package. These things happen often.

    I don't use MSN to check this out about youtube though. I doubt it. What I do know is MSN blocks .info domains last time I checked, and so does Myspace.com.

    I was noticing this last night when I tried to share a youtube link with a friend of mine. Found it quite strange. If they really are trying to censor its time I stopped using MSN.

    I just went to MSN.COM and entered http://www.youtube.com and it worked fine :) (I also have scripts disabled which might be why i was able to (If they are indeed filtering it))

    They seem to have unblocked it.

    Shocking that they'd go to the extent of doing this, though.

    I'm just going to take a stab in the dark and say that some people who have replied here are rather dull witted.

    That's it. I've had it.

    Some people on this forum are just plain stupid. Is it /that/ hard to read the first bloody few posts in a thread!?

    You're freaking,.. (*#@WHJRKDGYIU@#HRW

    ARGH!

    Sorry to dig this thread. Just saw this.

    I confirm that this issue happened to me last month either. Any combination with http://*youtube.com is blocked. I made some test asking a group of my friends in couple regions and countries to test it and found out that it did block youtube url.

    BTW, it had to be prefixed with "http://". Single youtube.com domain was not filtered out and could be sent over. It was happened for about few hours, not sure the exactly time because I was bored and stopped trying.
