You have no evidence of making a comment like that.
I think you should crawl back in your hole of stupidity and only come out when the world is rosy!

And if it has increased that's no excuse for increased censorship!

Of course, didn't you bother reading the articles I posted?

Are you blind or just stupid? I find it difficult to believe that you're unable to comprehend the very simple sentence you quoted.

So how do you justify and explain a 4-500% increase in censorship of online media in just the few months following the coup?

is a few months , thousands ?

just what was censored by the 4-500 % 's

something happened which caused an increase in posting online of which much was censored ?

sounds reasonable - and the people in power had the tools at their disposal and people like b0b to implement - so they blocked heaps of sh1t.

though it is a radical hypothesis - military govts censor heavy handedly - but it might fly

If you want one for your new place, no problem, might even get a discount as the girl we bought it from says she's so sick of pigs now she'll happily kill them for free. But no way I'm driving half way to Burma through those rice-fields around your house in the sticks again. I had to swim most of the way home

No, because you're too thick to notice that what you posted backs up Tud's argument, not yours.

I wear my thickness with pride b0bbles - just as you wear your nuanced understanding of english and thai language - granted I have not been ordained in the monkhood , mimicked Che Guevara with the red shirts in the hills behind Wang Sai Poon or done a stint as a lady boy in obsessions - but surely I can allow myself to interpret my own observations.

tudious reckons that the evil censorship regime of the populous ceo was minimal compared to that of the reign of the military and now funky markys turn at the helm - though his statistics do not seem to acknowledge that an upsurge in internet usage and increasing tubulent society might have also increased the amount of radical posting online which should of course increase the amount of websites that are blocked. the more chances of somchai's swearing at the siblings of socrates the more chances there are of the censors cultivating their scorecards.

they will never attain the efficiency of the golden shield which leaks like a sieve anyway


it seem I am upsetting your acolytes.

What campaign?

I am just pointing out that Thaksin wasn't the devil as many posters, such as bones earlier, try to make out. Bones also made a statement based on nothing more than his opinion that was utterly false to try and further his position. I corrected him.

Are postings criticising the establishment radical?

Or are they warranted, as I believe, because the rural majority have been diddled out of their vote by the old establishment?

Seems to me that this campaign of censorship is to protect the coup-makers and those who continuously interfere in politics and hinder the democratic process.

The statistics on website censorship show an increase of 443% in censorship during the 3 months following the 2006 coup, so an upsurge in internet usage or "turbulent society" certainly isn't the reason.

But again, why should people be prevented from criticising or discussing the coup and the CNS Junta on the internet?

No-one should be immune from criticism or debate, least of all the military.

How many have been blocked and censored by the Shinawatra regimes -- Thaksin, Samak, and Somchai?

Go ahead - share.

It's odd how the same people all desperately avoid answering the above question. Why is that?

See my post earlier with a link to the FACT website that completely rubbishes your argument.

Pre-coup, the government blocked 2,475 websites, while as of January 2007, the Junta had blocked 13,435 websites - an increase of a shade under 443%.
