Not enough censorship?-Bangkok Post

[FACT comments: It is more than obvious that Thai government is intent upon censoring free expression and manipulating public opinion in every media possible. Can’t reach that website? Can’t post to your blog? Reading your email? Listening to your mobile phone? Thailand has become a multipurpose police state.

Prawit Leesatapornwongsa, head of the consumer protection section at the National Economic and Social Advisory Council, explained that the purpose of the government’s new broadcasting and telecommunication commission is simple – censorship; the proposed law totally upends the aim of the constitution for a body to put media power in people’s hands, and places it squarely in the hands of Cabinet members, who would get sole responsibility for picking the 10 commissioners from among their most toadying friends and dependent officials.

Webmaster Boonyarit Arunsap had no idea how all those feelthy pictures got on his site (http://www.nisitgirl.com), designed just for chatting; he was shocked when police raided his office on the 13th floor of your CAT Telecom building on Charoen Krung Road and found lewd pr0n on his seven computers plus the other 14 he had squirrelled away on the floor above; horrible users kept uploading unwanted photos, he explained; police explained he is entitled to free food and board while it’s sorted out.
