Well, yeah..... so Taksin was called the anti-freedom-of-expression guy back when the Thai marines took him out of office. What was the promise of the marines leader? Bringing back democracy and the freedom of speech.
The one thing the people of all races and nations must remember is this: military interference can never result in true democracy.
If you would like another popular example, you might as well start looking at Iraq and what happen to it in the aftermath of the Iraq invasion. But that is the topic best left for the other days.
Let's see what else is blocked off in Thailand? Oh yeah, youtube.
Since when is the provider responsible for the content? Oh since now. So I suppose CAT and TOT board of directors should turn themselves in to the junta because they, afterall, allow the pro-democracy people to operate at all. Should the phone operator be responble for what the content over the telephone? The only difference is that the phone is a private communication tool, while the internet is public. Anyhow, with the censorship policy in mind, CAT and TOT should go ahead and block all foreign news such as Reuter considering that the article below actually got published. It surely would make the junta looks bad.
Of course, the junta cannot do that. Had they been that smart, the economy would have plummetted even more.
