YouTube, the world's largest video sharing website, was originally headquartered in San Bourinot, California, USA. The company was founded by steve chen, an American Chinese in Taiwan Province, and registered on February 15, 2005. The slogan of the website is "broadcast yourself", and the name and logo of the website are inspired by cathode ray tubes used in early TV. In June 2006, Google acquired YouTube for10.65 billion dollars and operated it as a subsidiary.
Google's YouTube video site contains illegal videos, images and speeches, which violates China's Internet censorship standards. Since the launch of YouTube Port Sub-station on June 5438+00, 2007, YouTube was listed in the category of Internet keyword interception and filtering by Chinese mainland in February 2009, and it was intercepted and shielded by IP interception, URL keyword filtering, DNS domain name hijacking pollution, TCP connection reset, and relay router detection and interception. At the same time, China's three major Internet service providers (ISP) permanently blocked access to Youtube's DNS server port and blocked all international IP addresses of YouTube, so Chinese mainland could not access YouTube, while foreigners and international students in China generally accessed YouTube through 6vpn. Excited net, a domestic website, was once rumored to cooperate with youtube in the form of content cooperation, but it ended in vain.
