Despite YouTube being blocked and banned in certain countries, do you ever think that YouTube will just shut down worldwide?
It’s highly unlikely, but do you think that it is possible that YouTube will not be able to control the illegal file sharing (movies, music) on the site, and unallowed content such as pornography, that the site will just have to shut down for good? I mean money from law suits need to come from somewhere, and companies are suing fast!
Maybe if Google had not purchased YouTube it would not have been able to keep up with control on its site or costs.
As you may know, YouTube has been banned before in certain countries because of people illegally file sharing music and movies, or by badmouthing the monarch, or belief. Do you think that this may just become uncontrollable and YouTube has be shut down?
The site has already been banned in Brazil, Morocco, Turkey, and some other countries.
Although I think that it is highly unlikely that it will shut down worldwide, is there really a possibility?

If you want to be “written” to in English, at least use thr correct word not “wrote”, please.
Apart from that no, if Youtube shuts down - horror - another will take it’s place, then another and so on.
Liberty on the Web is an fact that depasses control of money hungry multinationals. They can’t see further than a dllar or euro sign It’s their big loophole
. That’s life in the new technological era, & the people that shut sites have less competence than those who open them.
Open Source slowly gains on Mr Gates & his insecure OS - who the heck pirates a Linux run machine? Not easy if the set ups right.
No Youtube & other sites like it are here to “be happy & multiply”.
If not we end up in a “Big Bros watching You…”
