According to the Bangkok Post, Freedom Against Censorship Thailand (FACT) now claims that the Thai police and government now blocks more than 50,000 websites due to their content.
The content is thought to include pornography, southern Thailand terrorism and anti-monarchy literature.
FACT is trying to change this. They are offering to help anyone who would like access to these sites by helping them install software that can get around these bans. This blog apparently has been compiling lists of banned sites for years now.
Another interesting fact this article revealed is that originally, the law only permits sites being blocked with a court order. Minister Ranongruk Suwunchwee recently ordered that these sites can now be blocked without court authority because getting a court order can take too much time.
Here is a link to FACT, an interesting blog that proactively fights censorship in Thailand.
