L'YouTube Ces Moi (in Thailand)

The Hollywood Reporter reports that the Thai government has lifted the five-month old ban on YouTube.

YouTube ultimately caved - another reminder that free speech means something different overseas, even though the case isn't as troubling as the Yahoo-China dispute (see my earlier post).
