YouTube is not owned by Google!
Do you know that the YouTube.ua domain is not registered with Google at all, but with an individual? His name is David Bloch, the geography of residence is Odessa.

Recall that for several years now, Google has been trying to escape from the hands of cybersquatters and get the Google.UA domain, but so far its efforts have been in vain. What can we say about the official launch of YouTube in Ukraine. We don't have YouTube officially yet. And when that will happen, no one knows. Although today YouTube has become closer to Ukrainians, becoming available in Ukrainian.

Search results - censored?
Google has released a report on the number of requests from countries to it, with a request to censor the information they provide when users query their search engine.
According to these data, it turns out that the United States became the leader of such requests, this country applied 4215 times during the first half of 2010. The US is followed by Brazil with 2,833 requests. Russia, according to these reports, did not apply in 2010, however, asked to remove some information less than 10 times, but Google denied the request.

Britain sent 1391 appeals. The company provided detailed statistics in the form of an interactive map for each country. It is available at http://www.google.com/transparencyreport/governmentrequests

But there is no data for Ukraine - so there is no censorship in the results of Ukrainian issuance, and therefore search results can be considered free media. Here are just Internet users in Ukraine so far - 32% of the population, but it can be assumed that with an increase in the Internet audience of Ukraine, our country will also turn to Google on censorship issues.
