Thai Censorship of YouTube
While I was in Thailand during my vacations I got an email from Oriol titled “por algo se llama costa brava…” with this link to a YouTube video he published inside http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAGlpTEnq84 When I clicked on the link this is what I got:
The message below in English (no idea about the Thai part) says “Sorry! the web site you are accessing has been blocked by ministry of information and communication technology”. Well, I was aware that Thailand political situation had changed since last coup in 2006 but now I experience that myself. The situation in the country does not look that different than in previous trips there (my last one in December 2005) except perhaps for a bit more police and military around (for instance, I do not remember police checking bags in the entrance of public transportation as I saw now in Bangkok) so I wonder what else has changed in terms of human rights and freedom besides blocking YouTube (other lesser known sites were not blocked though).
