Government Censorship Blocks Justin.tv In Thailand

In Thailand, the government has recently blocked Internet users from accessing Justin.tv. Thai web surfers trying to access the live streaming site are currently being redirected to a government website that says the site has been suspended temporarily because of an emergency situation. The “emergency situation” is a recent intensification of anti-government protests on the web and the government is hoping to quell them through censorship.

Although protests in Thailand have been going on for over a year they have intensified in the last few weeks.
