Google Selectively Bans Access to Anti-Islam Film
Says it is only censoring access in countries where the film would be illegal
Saudi Arabia has become the latest state to call on YouTube to block access inside the country to anti-Islamic film Innocence of Muslims.
The government says it will block access to the entire YouTube website if owners Google do not comply.
Google has already rejected a request from the White House to remove the film, but has blocked access to it in Libya, Egypt, Indonesia and India.
