Seems there was a lot more blocked during Mark's junta regime..... There has been no talk of unblocking these websites, just talk of the "war room" to continue the practice.

Seems there was a lot more blocked during Mark's junta regime..... I am not sure how many sites were blocked during Abhisit's government formed under democractic process. Why don't you let us know. Also, please outline what a fantastic job you think Thaksin did for freedom of the press during the TRT years; you can certainly reference the raids on prominent newspapers, advertising bribes and raids on university researchers if you think it will help your case.

TAWP Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I have no illusions that there was probably lots of anti-monarch, pornographic and gambling related sites banned during the last 2 years. I also remember mere social forums, some gay or bi-related, closed under Thaksin's regime. And I am sure you protested that development. (During the junta rule all those bans was lifted from what I saw, and a new blacklist started...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
