Social Media Websites Banned Worldwide

Posted on July 15th, 2008 in Social Media by Soren K

SocialMediaTrader is reporting a list of social media websites banned globally.  The following is a list of sites that have been banned by each country.  Youtube led the pack, now banned in a total of nine countries.  Given Youtube’s brazen attitude and the power of video to affect social and political currents, the number of sites banning the video portal is only likely to go up.

Brazil YouTube, Wordpress
China YouTube, Wikipedia
Ethiopia Blogger
India Blogger
Indonesia YouTube, MySpace
Iran Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Wikipedia, Orkut
