Submission + - YouTube aids censorship

BBC Reports: The video-sharing website YouTube has offered to show Thailand how to block material deemed insulting to King Bhumibol Adulyadej. YouTube executives said they would not take down material that did not violate policies but would show authorities how to block individual items. YouTube's head of global communications, Julie Supan, said it would prefer Thailand to have the power to remove items rather than have the whole site blocked.
So what happens the "do no evil" ? Yes whilst YouTube/Google's offer of a masterclass on censorship is hardly doing the deed itself isn't it as bad: aiding , abetting & implicitly condoning ? At least in China the authorities asked them to do it, here they're volunteering.
