Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon on Thursday ordered all military units and their commanders to keep a close watch for websites running reports with lese majeste content, defence spokesman Col Thanathip Sawangsaeng said.
Pol Gen Prawit issued the order at today’s meeting of the Defence Council.
All military units and their commanders who come across such websites were to coordinate with the Information and Communication Technology Ministry to take legal action against them, the spokesman said.
Units under the Internal Security Operations Command have also been tasked with monitoring community radio stations for lese majeste content.

for some reason, the Asia Sentinel website appears to be blocked and re-directs to the mcot website, even when I am trying to read Asia Sentinel stories about the Middle-East or South Asia (ie., nothing to do with Thailand at all)……any one know why this might be?
