Thai Cyper Police statistics web page

[rickfarang]

I am in the U.S. now and came across this cyber police web page while looking for something that was blocked when I was in a particular S.E. Asian country that is having insurgency problems.

 

The term "Cyber Police" stirs chilliing images from Orwell's 1984.

 

I am very curious as to what the cyber police are keeping tabs on.

 

Can anyone see/read it?

I'm not a good enough Thai reader...but I can decipher that "web lamok", i.e. pornographic web sites, are among the top 3 categories that they've blocked out so far....

[..]

Pornographic (foreign language) - 6073

Pornographic (kiddie porn) - 1212

Thanks guys!

 

I guess these numbers are a convolution of the cyber police's priority and the prevalence of these "threats" to the country's morality and security. I find that merchandising of bootleg material is on this list. That the vast bulk of blocked URLs are sex related is not surprising.

 

SEX RELATED 76.38%

NATIONAL SECURITY 11.60%

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 9.46%

GAMBLING 1.71%

OTHER 0.85%

 

Censorship fascinates and sometimes bothers me.
