Journalists Arrested on Trumped Up Charges

As of April 2, the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology is said to have blocked over 7,000 web sites. These sites reportedly contained morally offensive content.

According to Prachatai, they are now currently investigating the pornographic animation clip ‘Ninja Love’ and hope to find the poster for prosecution.

The MICT now has created a hotline call service where people can report these offensive sites anonymously. The public can now feel even more free to give up information about these sites.

The hotline will also forward their information to the monarchy in order to further prevent this content from impacting the Thai citizens.

These new occurrences are right on par with other actions that the MICT has executed.
