    "Global Voices Advocacy's Netizen Report offers an international snapshot of challenges, victories, and emerging trends in Internet rights around the world. This week's report begins in Thailand, where the army, now in the second week of its “coup without a coup,” has ordered Internet service providers to “monitor and stop any information dissemination that could breed disorder within the Kingdom or would negatively impact the stability of the state and the morale of the people.” In meetings with Thailand’s largest newspapers and 108 ISPs, the military generals requested their “cooperation” in culling unfavorable coverage of the coup from the Internet."

    "Since imposing martial law on May 20, the Thai army has blocked more than 100 websites and shut down or taken over numerous television and radio stations. Military officials have detained at least two prominent political journalists, one of whom was summoned to the Army Conference Center in a public television broadcast. Journalists and activists are rallying behind calls from the Southeast Asia Press Alliance for an end to military censorship and the release of detained journalists."

    "Political scientist and Global Voices author Aim Sinpeng writes that in Thailand’s “Information War,” the fear of “propaganda to elicit violence by ill-intent individuals” is driving military censorship and media intimidation. She continues: “The military believes there are ‘underground’ groups in Thailand determined to wreak havoc on the country. They worry that unless they control and centralize the dissemination of information, they will not win this battle.”

    less and less is being reported about this. hmmm...... makes me wonder...... inside job?
