alaina Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 This government obviously has alot of skeletons in the closet.What's next, censoring google "China style" ? Seems that way to me. I found that youtube was blocked when I followed a link on a popular Thailand Blog. The link said that the video was shot outside nana plaza at closing time from a hidden camera. Perhaps a bit unsavory, but nothing pornographic, just people walking down the street. I found that most of the videos posted by the guy that filmed video are blocked now. Sorry if it sounds like I'm being vague, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the name of the blog or the person who filmed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insight Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Can access YouTube from home using True at home (still blocked from the office tho, unless you use Bambina's method ). If they were serious about blocking access surely True would be one of the first ISP's they'd target. Looks like just another case of admin incompetence.

Hobox Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 bah, another reason why I'm happy to be leaving in May! I'm also leaving after 8 years! I've had it with all stupid things now. Haven't really decided where to go, thinking of Cambodia or the Philippines. I have TT&T MaxNet and even had problems accessing thaivisa.com this morning.

A_Traveller Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Blocking here is done at various levels. What seems to be the case is that some True nodes are blocking, looks like those which primarily serve 'high bandwidth' customers {cue hysterical laughter about including the term high bandwidth and Thai internet in one sentence} and others are not. My assumption here is that an edict has gone out from someone that there's something on YT they don't like. I wonder if it's tied into the 'tutor king-- mad doc' case which has huge tracts of the population glued to the papers and TV right now. This is after all the main lead item on the Thai media.

southbot Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) Blocked on Jasmine Internet too. Drops you off at "big brother's" website. But now it is on, then it is off, then it is back on. What is this? What I find more or less amusing about this is:- It is not only the absolute arrogance, ignorance and stupidity of blocking an important media source like Youtube. It is the fact that "they" are so inept that "they" cannot even block properly. NOT www.youtube.com BUT youtube.com kept on working the whole time. "They" cannot even block a site without messing up on it. Incredible. And worse yet, as another poster pointed out, www.pornotube.com is still online. What the heck? *)&&$#%$@#&%! Stupid, stupider and utterly ridiculous. Edited March 10, 2007 by southbot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobox Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I called TT&T Maxnet now, they had never heard about YouTube or the problems. Incompetence! I asked for a discount now as I pay for something that isn't working, and of course they just hanged up on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Burmese diva causes You Tube banning in Thailand. Irrawaddy Daily Mercury3/10/2007 The reasons behind the blocking in Thailand of popular website You Tube are slowly emerging. MTV Thailand on Wednesday debuted the new music video by popular Burmese pop princess U Teub. In her latest video the winsome Miss Teub can at times be seen wearing only a smile, rose petals and a dollop of whipped cream. The video was reportedly seen by the daughter of a prominent IT Ministry official who complained to her father that the video presented young women in a disrespectful manner and should be banned lest it corrupt the young people of Thailand. The IT Ministry official immediately rang his assistant to have all videos on U Teub banned. The assistant contacted the heads of all local ISP's and demanded that access to U Teub videos be blocked. Executives refusing to co-operate were told they would be transferred to TiTV. Kyawk Kywin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, even after I got into youtube.com, many Thai related videos won't load. Most of the ones on the coup won't load, as well as most on nightlife here.
