The Thai government abruptly scrapped a plan to sue Google after the U.S. company agreed to remove from a website video clips deemed insulting to the country’s revered king, an official said.

The government blocked access to YouTube -- a popular video-sharing site owned by Google -- on April 4, after Google Inc. turned down Thailand’s request to remove the clips seen as offensive to King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
