Just saw this:
http://bangkok.metblogs.com/archives/2007/05/new_cyber_bill.phtml
in part:
"Thailand's National Legislative Assembly approved a controversial law this week which could seriously effect how Thailand's internet users use the web. The main effect of the bill is to outlaw any attempt at bypassing government censors to access any of the thousands of sites that have been censored due to their moral or political purposes.
This single law could put Thailand in the same category as China and Burma with regards to censorship and the lack of a democratic right for free speech."
Ain't the LOS wonderful?

And you have morons posting those videos on YouTube to thank for that, and other measures.
That being said, check into a VPN to a US isp, and you are good -- you'd be breaking the law but you'd get what you seek.

bullshit.....
maybe you've been here too long cuz that sounds like what I hear from many locals...blaming everyone else for the way things are rather than taking responsibility. So the Utube posters are also responsible for the all the other website filtering and banning of certain books here too?

Oh, did they have youtube in Medieval times? No? Then I am afraid the government probably wouldn't have the knowhow to do it, since that is exactly where their minds are.
I know, I know, I shouldn't underestimate them...

No, of course not - you simply don't get it -- the morons posting on YouTube simply made it easier for the relevant gov't stooges to push through their agenda.

sadly.....i do get it....
...It's a laughable excuse for failure to take responsiibilty for the way things are. it is a very linear approach, fails to acknowledge the reality of the situation, blames others and supresses critical thinking of complex societal issues.
kinda like most countries I might add.....but like they say in AA, you have to first acknowledge you have a problem before you can begin to deal with it.

How did you come to assume Daffy is a local...
Fact remains that this censoring has been going on for a long time (3-4 years) with efforts to block access to pornographic material for Thai eyes....
A good challenge to battle proxy servers....
