YouTube to remove some clips mocking Thai king

YouTube to remove some clips mocking Thai king: "Video-sharing Web site YouTube has agreed to block four clips Thailand says insulted its revered king, the latest twist in a spat that has stirred fierce debate about freedom of expression on the Internet.

However, in a letter to Communications Minister Sitthichai Pookaiyaudom, YouTube owner Google said two other videos that had incurred the wrath of Thailand's military government would stay as they did not break lese-majeste laws, which cover insults to the dignity of the king."
