I like they way they use a pic of a farang nerd and not the home grown variety.

If Thailand would give Politcal Asylum to Mr Edward Snowden, he could teach them just how the professionals snoop and hack into private communications . . . . (if they are not doing that already )

Like they would want a whistleblower looking at goverment computers

So a problem that the major governements of the world have not been able to solve for the last 15 years is now to be solved by a "Thai Government Crackdown" - even China fails to stop it's citizens from accessing content if they are determined enough.

You no Thai, you no understand !

Hmm. Being a real nerd, but why is the pic on the monitor different? In fact it looks badly pasted on in the pic in the heading.

It'll take 20 days to roll out The Great Firewall Of China to Thailand.

The group said they would look at regulating content related to pornography..... drugs..... and copyright infringement

Then they better close the whole country down, cause SEX drugs and copyright infringement, make up 80% of the economy

Yeah but think of the power they have to be ABLE to arrest most anyone at any time if they choose.

Every month a new headline, Thailand to start cracking down on [insert generic issue]

The Hub of [insert generic issue ] - in this case, Crackdowns. (in case we've missed it in this thread)

Notice that ThaiVisa censored the cigarette in the nerd's hand (by cropping the image). The uncropped image appears in the Coconuts article.
