Thai Government To Close 400 Anti-government Sites

Will Lord writes "The Guardian is reporting that the Thai government plans to close down 400 anti-government websites and is asking ISPs to block 1,200 more. The response follows a declaration of a state of emergency which has seen troops take to the streets of Bangkok to police anti-government protests. With web crackdowns like this becoming more and more frequent, do you think we will start to see similar (overt) activities from US and European governments?"

Of course not.

If people rebelling is so much of a concern that you find yourself trying to regulate it, you just might be a facist!

Hard copy porn and porn concerts?

So in other words, prostitution and orgies?
