It's a shame nobody thought to do a traceroute during the outage. While a single trace might not be conclusive, a dozen or more from folks in various places and with assorted ISPs would be more revealing. Presently:

Thai authorities to build state-owned social network site

In China, the government has created an "invisible birdcage" internet where the top social media companies like Renren (none Government owned) have thrived and copied Facebook's features. I don't see a Thai government-owned one working however, so maybe Thailand should take a page from China's model if they plan on installing these tight controls.

I see the Daily Mail is blocked with a stern warning. Looks like it won't be long and news from outside will be limited by the single gateway. Most Thai folks I interact with know exactly what is going on, so I really fail to see the benefit any controls on the internet will provide. Interesting to note, one of my Thai friends recommended looking up articles by Andrew Marshall, and he is in the military.

In other news, economists revise Thai GDP forecasts upwards due to unexplained spike in productivity.

I just got message from fb:

"Sorry, something went wrong.

We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can."

same message from another social media

Yeah, me too, but since it was generated by FB, it probably means FB is down, not that we are blocked from using it.

and it shows the facebook server is down (presumably everywhere).

Yep, the message is here https://www.facebook.com/, so that means you are at FB website.
