Metacafe Blocked By Gov.

[TAWP]

http://www.metacafe.com/ are now blocked too, so that is another video-site added to the list.

This will redirect you to http://w3.mict.go.th/ci/blocked.html if you are in Thailand.

Nope

Thai censors have blocked this proxy also.

This censorship has me wanting to go back home to the US.

Just may do it too.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

youtube.com is set to be unblocked soon according to the news.

Youtube and metacafe blocked on True in CM. Just reporting the facts, sir. I seldom bother to surf them, but when I do, I've got some Juthakham (sp.) button on my box that lets me view them. Magic is great!

At Chiangmai university trying to access it I get a logo of ict.cyberclean only. But yeah, blocked - odd because the majority of sites posted as blocked on this forum I can get to directly.

Interesting. I too can't access many of the sites I used to be able access last week.........

Dr. Naam: Since it's mict.go.th-block (CAT-level) and not done on ISP-level - I would presume! - you shouldn't be able to bypass it. But then again, it might be so porly setup so every ISP have to add a blacklisted url and then set a redirect to mict.go.th's little nice green page. And then your ISP is just being a few days slow now...

Metacafe has been blocked for some time now, at least a week or two.

I have their metcafe client installed (downloadable from tucows or something like that) and it fetches everything I want from metacafe without going to www. It does use IE engine, though, and on Saturday it showed all content as blocked but worked ok again in Sunday and is fine now (True in Bangkok).

I can't find any subversive matirial there at all. Sure there are lots of hot steamy babes but no clear cut porn, and it's filtered for mature content by default anyway.

Let me check if there's anything interesting about Thaksin...

No, nothing at all.

Metacafe is on from Phuket on TOT..

YT still blocked.

Metacafe has been 'blocked' for some time now. There is a copy of one of the YouTube videos considered derogatory to HM.

I can't find it. I tried Thailand, King of Thailand - nothing offensive come up.

They are probably too slow to reconsider the blocking.

It's most deffinately at ISP level!

Each ISP has different combinations of websites blocked or not blocked. I have a selection of pay-as-you-go-tickets from about 6 ISPs and if I really need to access a site I swap tickets till I get through!

What is even more laugable is that the blocking is not done by scripted key-words. It's done solely and simply by the URL of the site. So - as an example - www.amime-movies.com might be blocked, but www.anime-movieclips.com could be fine.

Somewhere - in many many places - in Thailand - hundreds of people are trawling for websites and submitting the entire URL to a central database. What a pathetic waste of time!

I've been to "fun" sites and seen "Khun Eyeball" set somewhere on the page,but can still acess pics/videos.What does it actually mean when you get that IMCT eyeball? You are being keylogged or tracked? Eery...reminds me of George Orwell.

i think the eyeball is only to save bandwhith a small gif is faster to load than their bloated crap page, as for monitoring we are already nothing really new in this area

[mel2surf]

Thanks Kyosuken. Is someone gonna come knockin on my door sometime

just because I surf some porn sites or download music? How far does that eyeball dealy

go through the rabbithole? Sorry if it's a dumb question.But I feel like I've just

committed a crime or something every time I see that thing.

[Kyosuken]

well don't think too much the power of Thailand in this area is close to say.. China in this area, would be good not to brag about what you do on your computer on public forums though ahah

Unless they want to do a crack down on pr0n users, but i think that for the "safety" of the nation going after the big fishes (ie propaganda etc) is more of a concern...
