Google Blocks Singapore Access To Anti-Islam Film

SINGAPORE, Sept 20 (Bernama)-- Google on Thursday blocked YouTube users in Singapore from viewing clips of an anti-Islam film that has incited violent protests across the Muslim world, acting on a request by city authorities, reported Agency France Press (AFP).

The news agency said attempts to access the low-budget "Innocence of Muslims" film on the Google-owned video-sharing website resulted in a message reading: "This content is not available in your country due to a government removal request."

AFP said Google had also blocked access to clips of the film in Malaysia and Indonesia.

"Where we have launched YouTube locally and we are notified that a video is illegal in that country, we will restrict access to it after a thorough review," the news agency quoted a Google spokesperson as saying.

Earlier, in a statement, the Singapore Ministry of Home Affairs cited "security concerns" as the reason behind the request to Google.

Disney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking-that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting.

  Identity Thief  
     
 

Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There's only one glitch: The ID she's using to finance these sprees reads "Sandy Bigelow Patterson"....and it belongs to an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S. With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life. And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back.

Cast: Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, Amanda Peet
