The AP reports today:
Thailand is welcoming Twitter’s new policy to censor tweets in specific nations where the content might break laws.
Technology minister Anudith Nakornthap said Monday the new policy was a “constructive” development. The Southeast Asian country routinely blocks websites with content deemed offensive to the Thai monarchy.
Jon Russell has more at The Next Web:
Twitter’s controversial move towards enabling the censorsing of tweets has gained the backing of its first international government, after authorities in Thailand publicly endorsed the introduction.
And The Bangkok Post ran a story on the news today.
More to come on this topic, I’m sure.
