# **Basic Information**

**Countries Without YouTube (2021)** is the forty-fifth (45th) video on the Master Raney channel on YouTube. Master Raney talks about countries that don't have YouTube and didn't have YouTube in 2021.

# **Plot**

Master Raney states that he's heard of censorships before and references his video about websites blocked in China, then states that this is about countries without YouTube, not just partially blocked like in Germany, you can't see music videos or in Thailand, you can't view any videos against Maha Vajiralongkorn, but entirely. Master Raney starts with Iran, playing the Iranian National Anthem in the background for the duration of the discussion, pointing out that social and moral misconduct got YouTube blocked on December 3, 2006, and blocked again in 2012 because of a controversial film, Innocence of Muslims, as well as that schools and universities had no internet access since August 2017. Master Raney moves onto Eritrea, playing the Eritrean National Anthem in the background, stating that YouTube got blocked in 2011, despite a spokesperson for Freedom House conjecturing that to be because of "bandwidth considerations". Master Raney moves onto South Sudan, which plays the South Sudanese National Anthem in the background, explaining that YouTube got blocked in 2012 because of a controversial film, Innocence of Muslims. Master Raney moves onto Sudan, playing the (North) Sudanese National Anthem, blocking YouTube on April 21, 2010 because of Electoral Commissioners dressed like officials and a kid in a Hamash-kureb putting in voting strips in a ballot expressing relief of the longer voting periods. National Telecommunications Corporation blocked YouTube again in 2012 because of Innocence of Muslims. Master Raney moves onto Syria, playing the Syrian National Anthem, mentioning that YouTube, along with Facebook and Twitter were blocked in February 2011, which Master Raney needlessly mentioned that the whole internet got blocked since June 3, 2011, the beginning of the Syrian Civil War. Master Raney moves onto Tajikistan, playing the Tajikistani National Anthem, blocking YouTube in 2012 because of a video of a protest against the Milton clashes for eight days, then blocking YouTube again because of "offensive" videos about president Emomali Rahmon, then blocked for the third time in 2013 because of a video of Emomali Rahmon singing and dancing out of tune. Master Raney moves onto Turkmenistan, discussing it while playing the Turkmen National Anthem in the background, pointing out since Christmas Day 2009, Turkmen Telecom blocked YouTube for security purposes. Master Raney moves onto Mainland China, playing the Chinese National Anthem, referencing the 42nd video, stating its first block from October 16, 2007 - March 22, 2008, then a second block on March 24, 2009 in spite of an international ministry spokesperson, Master Raney also points out that lots of Chinese media outlets have YouTube accounts despite the censorship. Master Raney finally reaches North Korea, plays the North Korean National Anthem in the background, and stands in front of the Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il statues, states that everyone anticipated the nation to appear on the list. Master Raney points out that YouTube got blocked since April 2016 and that the government warned anyone if they accessed YouTube, they face public execution. Master Raney points out that this would be self-explanatory because in North Korea, not only YouTube is blocked, but the entire internet is blocked as well, then points out the Red Star OS being their own operating system, having a computer requiring government permission, and only providing state-approved content, which the word in expanding text shows as "UNBELIEVABLE". As Master Raney concludes the video, he seeks info from those who have been to any other countries without YouTube, if any.
