The Thai government is obviously very impressed by the ability of China to block websites, spying on its users and to control the flow of information in and out of the country, they are planning to build "Great Firewall of Thailand."
the "land of smiles" is no stranger to Internet censorship, even before the state websites military coup Or 06 were blocked - mainly government sites pornographic and anti, and after 2014 coup increased online monitoring imposed by the military junta in Thailand tight down on all those who have expressed political criticism against the military or committed treason .
Great Firewall of Thailand is no surprise, earlier in March this year Asia Sentinel reported that the government sought to increase surveillance and eliminate dissidents as well as put together measures to modernize the country's infrastructure.
Great Firewall of planes from Thailand were brought to light thanks to a Twitter user who discovered the looking through the official office of the resolutions with statement ordering the Ministry of information, communications and technology to "establish a single gateway to use it as a tool to control inappropriate websites and information flows from other countries via the Internet. "
Thailand currently operates nine Internet gateways, but if the Great Firewall plans of Thailand are implemented gateway single Internet pave the way for an increase in censorship, limit the amount of websites and services Thais can access, and also decrease the speed of the Internet.
what a single Internet gateway?
Think of a single Internet gateway as a "black box" that each Internet user in Thailand goes through to access services and websites that are . not hosted in Thailand the Thai government should monitor this single gateway limiting the content and giving them the opportunity to see which position it -. especially useful during periods of political unrest the Thai government could try to strip out as encryption of traffic as possible to further restrict the freedom of the Internet.
the Bangkok Post reported that communications technology (ICT) and Information Minister Uttama Savanayana said that the reason for great firewall of Thailand "is to reduce the business costs of Internet service providers' and he denied that a single Internet gateway was designed to censor the Internet. A number of news reports, Uttama Savanayana said if Great Firewall of Thailand has been implemented, it would not ignore personal information or their right to access user information. And pigs can fly!
Great Firewall of Thailand will not only obstacle on each and the right of each Internet user to access a free and open internet, companies could suffer too. A single Internet gateway would result in slower Internet speed and the entire IT infrastructure of the country would be more vulnerable if it failed.
If Great Firewall of Thailand is implemented, it will probably scare the big companies that are considering locating in the country and could also lead to a mass exodus of companies already established there. Why a company would put their confidence or their data in a government that controls, monitors and censors the Internet?
Only the Thai government and the junta could benefit from this draconian initiative.
a petition "Go against Thai gov to use a single Internet gateway" on Change.org was launched after plans were revealed and received more 146,000 signatures at the time of writing.
According to press reports, no timetable has been set for a single Internet gateway
for the moment, the Thai people are able to use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube -. they can enjoy a relatively open Internet, but if the plans for Great Firewall of Thailand are approved this could be a distant memory!
