Thailand still blocks youtube
Google the owner of Youtube.com has criticized the Thai military government for overreacting. They have answered the Thai government when approached that they have much worse movies about Americas President George Bush then this video. Still the video has been taken off the site but there is some still photo left and therefore the Thai government refuses to lift the ban. According to the Thai news agency the video contained photo of His Majesty the king of Thailand and a foot something that is very taboo in Thailand.

Now Thailand is blocking adsense too.
That’s for The Big Google.

Google Adsense, Google search, Google Video in fact everything Google gets blocked regularly. You tube (strangly enough) never gets bloked as far as atually getting on the site but, vidoes of virtually anything to do with Thailand, Cambdodia, Vietnam and Laos never load.
One year after the You Tube ban and Thailand obviously have the bit between their teeth for google. I use adsense, adwords and gmail and this is now becoming a regular problem for me living inside this allegid democracy of Thailand. Since the new government of Thailand (December 07 ) things are worse than when the military were in control.
Maybe I should move to China or Burma as apparently China and Burma has more social freedom than the land of smiles! ha ha!
