soalbundy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 If this is the case it is not a smart move - if there would be one way to alienate evrybody this would be the one! Not everybody is on Facebook,some people have a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draftvader Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Throughout the whole "event" I still had full access to Facebook. I have noticed some "unusual" activity in general over the last few days and most of it appears to be when visiting rarely visited sites. I'm theorising that they are trying to build their own "index" of pages that people are looking at. I never seem to get the loading issue twice on the same site. Still not convinced this was an intentional block. Morelike they were trying to ghost certain accounts and in intercepting user data they messed up some addressing tables on a major node somewhere and they had to overwrite the file or reboot.

DrTuner Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Just change your primary DNS IPs from manual to 8.8.8.8 They were using a simple DNS block ? I don't think so, ICT ministry has been blocking IP traffic for a long time already, for example p o r n.com. Not a simple DNS entry. I've also noticed the 3BB invisible proxy getting overloaded from time to time. Getting proxy errors. They are fiddling with something, that's for sure.

NomadJoe Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 From locked thread I started: Why don't people look to see if the topic is already running before making a new topic? Actually, I posted this in the general forum before LivinginKata did in the Phuket forum. I then checked the Phuket forum and there was nothing yet. I always check, but I got interrupted while typing so his post came through before mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieran2698 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 wow such a loss for these sad people try phoning and having a real conversation..i really wouldnt be interested in seeing a picture of your last meal... When phones started taking over people used to say that writing letters was the "real" way to converse, now people are writing to each other over the internet and it's the phones that are the "real" way to communicate. Funny how things change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nidieunimaitre Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Some TV members seem to have a problem with the 99% of FB users that post nonsense 99% of the time. But FB users have THE RIGHT to post whatever they find relevant. Call them childish, say that they smell bad, refuse to interact with them, BUT RESPECT THEIR RIGHTS.

thaicookingchef Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Maybe it's a chance for millions of people in this country to do something more interesting on Internet than posting stupid retarded selfies every 5 minutes ? <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taony Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) just saw a message written in Thai only to tune into Channel 5 for a message from whatever the initials of the coup people are. I am watching the Red movie channel. Red MOVIES not Red shirts 5555 edit: This is all that's on, but its been on a lot of channels for a while now. Back on Red I just saw the message again. Maybe I am misinterpreting the message a little and it is just saying tune in for information from NCP whatever they are https://twitter.com/thomaswanhoff/status/471608359162896384/photo/1 Edited May 28, 2014 by taony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbswales Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 how on earth will parents know what their children are doing now? Seriously blocking media and free speech and applying curfews are the same mistakes made in almost all coup's anywhere in the world - they would do better setting up a massive facebook presence themselves and tweeting hourly what is happening - that would increase peoples confidence and remove any fear of secrecy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antimedia Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 While facebook is a major distraction in the workplace, it is also a necessary tool for my job. I use it to recruit workers, particularly expats here in Bangkok. So, as you are expressing your joy as to its unavailability, just remember that some expats and some thais are probably losing the opportunity to obtain beneficial employment due to the outage. Variance my boy, diversification is the name of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbswales Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I was so happy to hear the news as I was hoping staff would finally do some work , sadly I was wrong,they are still playing with their phones. Facebook should be blocked permanently in Thailand or at least for most of the business hours time that you learned how to manage your employees and stop looking for someone or something else to blame. If people choose to do things other than work then maybe you should look to make their work more interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvenison Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Actually I don't think FB was 'banned' at all.. Connections for users accessing sites outside of Thailand using True Internet always have problems with both speed and access.. True admits to 'throttling' the speed to about 10-15% of what your paying for when accessing international sites... And there is actually a Facebook page on this https://www.facebook.com/trueonlineusers?fref=ts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
