Google, for whatever reason, called Thai govt’s bluff by taking their own good time. We would hope they learned something after facilitating censorship in China.

The videos were sophomoric and Thai govt equally juvenile in its reaction. Thai public simply had the typical knee-jerk reaction where the monarch is concerned.

Censors always get drunk on the wine of absolute power and Thailand’s censors are no different.

In the report I read, Google had said that half the clips had already been removed by their original posters. Of the remainder, several would be removed as offensive to HMK. The remainder on the government’s ‘offensive’ list were judged by google to be political criticisms of the government and nothing to do with lese majeste. These would not be removed.

Another report had the government saying it would go after the original posters of all the offensive clips.
