Family Network for Media Watch president Anya-orn Panicheungrat said her group had discovered that the phrase 'free ringtone' was being used on websites to disguise links to adult websites.

The network said the free-ringtone label had allowed many porn sites to get around screening by officials and avoid being blocked.

The volunteer group had received complaints about this, Anya-orn said. She urged that such sites be closed.

Websites with adult content used the phrases "Voice of motorcycle MP3" and "Free ringtone", which linked to pornographic videos and pictures. Anya-orn said she was worried about children and students accessing the sites.

She called on the Technology Crime Suppression Division to quickly block the sites in order to protect children, families and society.
