Today, a Thai courted ordered all Facebook pages and Youtube videos
with elements of Royal Insults and inappropriate content to be shut
down.
According to Takorn Tantasith, Secretary-General, National
Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) “web pages with
alleged royal insults were among a total of 965 pages deemed illegal,
with others containing violence, copyright issues and other
inappropriate content’.
Takorm continued to say,
‘“among the 965 pages, 569 of them were on Facebook and 373 on YouTube. “Although nearly 100 percent has been blocked, the NBTC has instructed ISPs [internet service providers] to keep monitoring online content.”
