Why cant you-tube be viewed in Thailand? |
Travel Info I just tried to open You Tube and i cant... why is that? Travel Tips During the week of March 8, YouTube was blocked in Thailand. Many bloggers believed the reason YouTube was blocked was because of a video of the former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's speech on CNN. However, the government did not confirm or give reasons for the ban. YouTube was accessible from March 10. On the night of April 3, YouTube was again blocked in Thailand.[The government cited a video on the site that it called "insulting" to King Bhumibol Adulyadej. However, the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology claimed that it would unblock YouTube in a few days, after websites containing references to this video are blocked instead of the entire website. Communications Minister Sitthichai Pookaiyaudom said, "When they decide to withdraw the clip, we will withdraw the ban." Shortly after this incident the internet technology blog Mashable was banned from Thailand over the reporting of the YouTube clips in question. Others I don't know. Where have you been Wilma. The Thai Military backed government has blocked u tube about 2 or 3 months ago. |
