There is more to it than just porn and gambling sites. The last time I looked there were 22,254 web sites being blocked and this list is growing larger every day. About 2,660 web sites have been blocked for "Threatening National Security". The question is, what are the guidelines for banning the web sites in this category? It wasn't that long ago that two journalists were kicked out of the country for saying the wrong thing.

I think you would have a lot of problems. It is not advisable to openly criticize the government or institution. Having your web site blocked would be the least of your worries. Do I need to say what may happen to you and your family if you step on too many toes? Or publicly critizise the wrong person?

On our web sites, we maintain self-censorship in order to survive. That includes what other people say or what pictures they post on our forums. Life is too short.

Strangely, we can access www.ladbrokes.com. (Of course we would never normally go to this web site and we only went there today because you asked us to.) It is interesting to note that on the front page of ladbrokes.com there is a dozen languages listed. One of them is Thai!

BTW, we did a bit of censorship on your post. Hope you don't mind. I wouldn't be surprised if links to 203.107.138.4 are logged and someone will follow the breadcrumbs back here. Not that we have anything to hide of course. We never do anything illegal here. But better safe than sorry.

We advise people to approach the above web sites with caution. If you choose to open any of the links then you do so at your own peril. We will not be held responsible for any harm that may be caused to you.
