YouTube banned: hyperlink blocking by Messenger reaches all-time low
YouTube banned: hyperlink blocking by Messenger reaches all-time low
dwergs says ( 10 May 2008 ):
The web's biggest source for user-submitted videos is not just censored in Brazil, China, Turkey and a handful of other websites anymore. It is now effectively banned worldwide from instant messages on Microsoft's Messenger network.
Around 3:00 AM this morning the first reports started coming in about Messenger not delivering messages that include clickable links to YouTube. This indicates that YouTube is being blocked by the (dreadful) server-side SPIM filter. If the user includes http:// in the link, he will be notified of the failed delivery ("The following message could not be delivered to all recipients"). Without the http-prefix, the user will have no clue that the message didn't get across.

Coincidentally, this ban is set up the same week as the launch of MessengerTV, which aims to promote the sharing of MSN Video content. A month ago another (proportionately smaller) Microsoft competitor, eBuddy, was added to the ever-growing list of banned URLs and despite reporting it directly, it still remains blocked. Paulo Taylor, founder of eBuddy, told us: "We are working on it to have the situation cleared but things never go as quick as we would hope for like almost everything with Microsoft ;-)" The week before a Chinese competitor ended up on the list, but that mistake got resolved quick as lightning.
Let's see how long the YouTube-ban takes. A couple of hours, a couple of weeks, or a couple of lawyers?
