The Mavin rapper didn’t think his ‘Take Banana’ song would cause so much furore when he was recording it with elder brother Don Jazzy. Investigations reveal that a few weeks before the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission placed a ban on the popular video, popular video sharing site, YouTube had yanked the video off their platform.
According to YouTube, ‘Take Banana‘ was removed ‘because its content violated YouTube’s Terms of Service’.
YouTube has strict policies on materials that have to do with Unclothedness, vulgarism and other content. They did not respond to enquiries asking exactly why ‘Take Banana’ was yanked off…
A Cairo court on Saturday ordered the government to block access to the video-sharing website YouTube for 30 days for carrying an anti-Islam film that caused deadly riots across the world.
Judge Hassouna Tawfiq ordered YouTube blocked for carrying the film, which he described as "offensive to Islam and the Prophet (Muhammad)." He made the ruling in the Egyptian capital where the first protests against the film erupted last September before spreading to more than 20 countries, killing more than 50 people.
The ruling however can be appealed, and based on precedent, might not be enforced. A spokeswoman for YouTube's parent company, Google, said in a statement that the firm had "received nothing from the judge or government related to this matter."
