YOUTUBE CENSORED?
The Bangkok Post and The Financial Times are both reporting that the popular video website youtube.com has been blocked within Thailand. Although no-one appears to be admitting responsibility for the censorship, it seems the authorities want to act about the increasing number of anti-Government and anti-monarchy videos that have appeared on the site.
The Minister for Information and Communication Technology promised on Monday to block access to websites that were considered to be pornographic, offensive to the monarchy or a danger to national security.
This may only be a partial block as some users are still reporting they can access the site, but it's the second time in recent weeks that access to youtube has been restricted in some way.
