From this Friday to late Saturday afternoon, YouTube fans in Thailand found the site redirecting to MICT, the government agency responsible for Internet censorship in that country. Some users could gain access at one point by excluding the “www.”, and later the entire site was restored. Thailand has been known to censor TV and websites it deems offensive – when controversy arises over a blocked site, it is often reinstated, say Thai bloggers (via: Mashable).

so, now everything is cool?
I never noticed any problem and I was checking out some things on YouTube Friday and Saturday. Maybe it only happened with some ISPs.
Weird, I got some emails as well from people in Thailand who didn’t had access anymore to YouTube!?
friends of mine here mentioned a few days ago that the cyber-morality-police here had suddenyl blocked youtube.
perhaps there was a pro-thaksin/anti-military junta video on there that they didn’t like. 🙂
is the youtube in thailand the same one as here in the states? (same content//comunity)
I’m almost sure, yes.
I think it’s a one site fits all, kind of site. lol
