RSSThailand Looking to Block More YouTube Videos
By the Betanews Staff | Published September 21, 2007, 12:20 PM
Thailand's on-again off-again relationship with YouTube has taken another bad turn, as the government said it will go to court to have two videos blocked that it says were a threat to national security. The videos are actually a two-part series, and run about 17 minutes in total. It accuses former Prime Minister Prem Tinsulanonda of leading a government coup that occurred in September 2006, not the generals who claim to have headed it.
Supporter's of Tinsulanonda's rivals have often accused the former chief of such an act. However, the Thai government sees the talk as confusing to citizens and that it could cause public unrest. Thus it it moving to ban the videos, and is asking ISP's to voluntarily block links while it seeks a court order. YouTube could not be reached for comment on the latest dustup.
Hey hey, you guys should respect other countries like you'd like them to do unto you. BUT IT'S MY COUNTRY SO I DON'T HAVE TO. I say **** the government. The military is now off limit blocking everything we should know. I agreed blocking the clip about the king, but this s***thead miltary-exprimintrator, Prem, shouldn't be blocked. Prem is undoubtably the one who led our country to bloodshed both in the past and destroy the democracy now. Our country is more and more like Burma where its people allow to have democracy as long as it's under military supervision. Once again, **** military government.
