eldar1 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 For the last 2 days i've been trying to access the youtube website, but everytime i get redirected to the ministry of ICT website. It seems that www.youtube.com has been banned by the all-knowing powers that be. I think this action is despicable and should never have happened. If this type of thing continues then thailand will be know as the least free country in the world with the exception of maybe north korea and iran. i'm extremely upset with this action from the junta and only strengthens the notion that the CNS will not handover power to the people. Sorry for putting a political slant on the message, but freedom of information and expression is something which i hold close to my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 I can get it. Must be your ISP. Some ISPs in Thailand block all sorts of things. p.s. Wouldn't be Loxinfo, would it? It is one of the worst for blocking sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldar1 Posted March 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 i'm unfortunately using TRUE. I've checked the trace and the local dns info, and it seems that the DNS entry has been changed to the IP adress of the MICT. This has to be done by TRUE and i still suspect at the direction of the MICT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bust Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Someone told me once this often happens when ISPs introduce software for government retrieval programs. You know like when you type in taliban + bomb in google etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
