Banned site

Apr 28th, 2007 by Lillian

If you’re in Thailand, could you answer this question for me? Can you go on this site… http://www.metacafe.com/ I was able to a few weeks ago and was hoping to post some videos using metacafe but now i can’t open the page. Has it been banned in Thailand? does anyone know?

It’s working from Bangkok. Maybe is it a Chiang Mai local ban

Mei, Thailand wird ja nach und nach ein Überwachungsstaat oder was? Das ist der eine Faktor, was mich an Thailand echt nervt.

Zu Deiner Frage: ja, ich kann noch auf die Seite gehen.

It’s working in Ubon. Sometimes it’s just the internet service, slow, timemouts and such. Just try it again and I am sure you will eventually connect.

There’s a list of blocked sites here: http://facthai.wordpress.com/2006/12/06/blocklist-jan04/

Sometimes sites are unavailable temporarily in Thailand, I got a message saying blogger was banned once, and also the BBC.

So nice being back somewhere where I can surf in peace without someone else deciding that sites like youtube.com are dangerous.

Your site is banned from my connection in Phuket. My Wordpress site is also banned.
