Two days now, maybe for a longer time, the Trib has been blocked by Ministry of Digital Economy and Society.  Anyone have any ideas why this is so?

I'm in Chiang Mai, a backwater village in T'land so cannot keep up to date with govt regs.

No blocking for me. In Pattaya using 3BB.

 

Just opened their home page without a problem ( http://www.chicagotribune.com/ ).

Were you trying to open a link to a article. Sometimes they only block a page that has something they consider offensive.

Do you use a VPN?

Revival of old/current news blockage on Chicago Tribune.  Now for sure the entire paper is blocked, all refs leading to web site stopped so obviously  the Thai powers are upset but does anyone know the root cause of the situation?

And me, on ToT fibre.

 

@chingmai331 which internet provider are you with?

 

@fcgprg ditto you?

Works fine for me.

It would be useful to others if those reporting working / not working would include their ISP and location.

Can open Chicago Tribune in Ubon.

3BB

works for me ToT ADSL  Chonburi

Did it work before for you? Now it does not? The main site, or just a specific link? Are you redirected to a Thai government website/notification? Are other sites similarly blocked for you?

 

Which ISP? Does this happen with all of your devices? Maybe clear browser cache, check for malware - there's a ton here recently, restart the modem, all devices.

 

I seem to be able to access the main site, and all stories related to Thailand therein, even potentially negative ones. I'm on AIS Fiber, True Fiber, DTAC 4G, in Bangkok, all work fine.

 

The Daily Mail is blocked for me, for example, by my ISPs.

No problem at all from CM, no VPN

Seems my ISP is CAT telecom public ltd, and i am in Chiang Mai.  Now, since i have read all the above conflicting news, i can find some Tribune news when i use the Google Incognito.  But the main TRIB site will not open, only specific pages.

 

Yeah, blocked by the Govt Digital Media gang, ya' know the guys who work at

Frankly, i had no idea some providers, like BBB could open pages, where my CAT could not. Sometimes the WWW operates in mysterious ways, eh?

Better call it: they can't even properly manage censorship.

They need help from the Chinese on every field.

No "single internet gateway" yet.

 

Chicago Tribune (http://www.chicagotribune.com/) also no problem for me (ToT fibre).

Just noticed ChicagoTribune.com blocked on Sophon Fiber in Pattaya & found this old thread.

 

Anyone else seeing this?

Yup, blocked on TOT fibre in BKK too.

 

Still working for me ToT fiber Chonburi.

Must be something to do with 'he who must remain unmentioned'.

 

Either that or Bangkok hates the CUBS/BEARS/WHITESOX/BULLS/BLACKHAWKS. 

3BB in Ubon no problem

 

 

What a chaos.

Works for me on ToT fibre.

As written earlier, they can't even handle proper internet censoring ?

Ask the Chinese friends for help.

Works fine for me (3BB)

The bigger question is why anyone wants to read it. It reads like The National Enquirer!

I searched the site for "Thailand" and at least one article from 2016 is of a nature that would not be allowed in Thailand.

Blocked for me on TOT Hat Yai.

 

They can't even organise censorship properly in Thailand pffft.
