Saudi Arabia: NaqaTube - Saudi's "clean" YouTube

Arabian Business.com reports Saudi Arabia has launched a new "clean"version of YouTube that meets the Kingdom’s standards of cultural, religious and moral sensibilities.

NaqaTube
(Naqa means ‘pure’ in Arabic) takes clean and edited clips from YouTube - as long as they do not contain any negative content about Saudi Arabia.

Images of women and music are also banned, with NaqaTube visitors able to edit their own clips through the site before uploading them online.
