I have a question.


If you are in Thailand and you visit this site, could you email me? Or if that is too much, simply leave a comment in the comment box. If you need your anonymity, that is fine.

I know that there are a few people in Thailand doing so - the stats tab is a marvellous thing - and my curiosity has gotten the better of me as to who you may or may not be. Nothing sinister, mind you. A simple survey.

I hope you can help me with my curiosity.

Over and out.


This is Sagat, the best character in Street fighter II Turbo Edition. He's Thai but many of my Thai friends are unfamiliar with his power and prowess in regards to his brutal style of Muay Thai.

    "Internet censorship is conducted by the Royal Thai Police, the Communications Authority of Thailand, and the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT).

    Prior to the September 2006 military coup d'état most Internet censorship in Thailand was focused on blocking pornographic websites. The following years have seen a constant stream of sometimes violent protests, regional unrest, emergency decrees, a new cybercrimes law, and an updated Internal Security Act. And year by year Internet censorship has grown, with its focus shifting to lèse majesté, national security, and political issues.
    Reasons for blocking:

    Reason
    prior to 2006 - 11% - lèse majesté content (content that defames, insults, threatens, or is unflattering to the King, includes national security and some political issues)
    2010 - 77% lèse majesté content (content that defames, insults, threatens, or is unflattering to the King, includes national security and some political issues)
    prior 2006 -60% pornographic content
    2010 - 22% pornographic content
    Prior 2006 - 2% content related to gambling
    2010 - <1% content related to gambling
    Prior 2006 - 27% copyright infringement, illegal products and services, illegal drugs, sales of sex equipment, prostitution, …"
    2010 <1% copyright infringement, illegal products and services, illegal drugs, sales of sex equipment, prostitution, …"


    You know all this shit, Steve. Why are you surprised you have some fans at the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT)?

    Yes, of course I do. And surprised is not the word I would use.

    Maybe I should befriend the MICT on Facebook in an attempt to soothe the fever of their worried minds?

    Maybe not, eh?
