More Websites Offending Thai Monarchy Blocked

Posted by timothy on from the really-could-skip-the-whole-prison-thing-altogether dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Thailand is ramping up their media wide censorship of anything that remotely offends Thai royalty. In the last three weeks, another 2,300 websites have been blocked. Another ~4,000 are soon expected. And not just websites, but books as well as the Economist have been blocked. And anyone caught publishing such material, including foreigners, will get 3 to 15 years in a Thai prison. You don't want to be in a Thai prison!"

    The King of Thailand will be honored for finding out before anyone else.

    Well, he won't be reading Slashdot, 'cos he's an arsehole.

    And now neither will anyone else from Thailand...
