For reasons not immediately clear, Moroccan ISP Maroc Telecom has blocked access to YouTube as of May 25th, writes Reporters Without Borders.

Maroc Telecom did not respond to inquiries made regarding the block, but the firm's press officer said it was the result of a technical problem.

The technical problem occurred shortly after videos of pro-independence Saharan demonstrations were posted on the site.

Blocking access to a site is illegal unless a court orders it.
