In a submission to forthcoming international talks on internet governance, the Gulf state said “there is a crying need for international collaboration to address ‘freedom of expression’ which clearly disregards public order”.
During the controversy over a 14-minute clip posted on YouTube and purportedly a trailer for a feature film called “The Innocence of Muslims”, Google resisted pressure, including from the White House, to remove it.

Hey, I have an idea: why don’t you start by censoring the videos of your own Wahhabi clerics that call for the death of infidels and adulterers? You know, content actually intended to get people killed! No? I didn’t think so. That’s “good” violence-provoking content in your view … and why this idea is just a hypocritical pile of stupidity.
