BANGKOK, April 5 (UPI) -- Thailand's decision to block access to YouTube is "inappropriate," Reporters Without Borders argued Thursday.
The advocacy group said that the government's decision to block access to the video-sharing Web site was on shaky ground from a legal perspective.
"The Thai government claims that it censors only pornographic Web sites or those that 'insult' the monarchy, but in fact it also blocks online publications that criticize last September's coup and Web sites linked to southern Thailand's separatist groups. We wonder about the legal basis for this censorship, initiated by the government and implemented with diligence by the police. The closure or blockage of an online publication is a serious decision that should require a court order," the group stated.
The government has blocked access to the site as it showed video footage that was disrespectful of the king.
