"The bill sailed through its third reading on Wednesday by a vote of 119 to 1. It requires royal endorsement before it can be formally enacted into law. " Now, this law is NOT yet in effect. So, essentially all discussion and linkin' to circumventing is cool still, right? Then, continuing: The chief immediate effect of the new bill will be to outlaw any attempt to get around government censors to access any of the tens of thousands of sites censored for moral or political purposes, or "to damage the country"." "The bill regards as a crime the intention to withhold internet protocol (IP) addresses and violators are subject to severe punishment, according to the NLA special committee assigned to scrutinise the law. " This says in real life: proxies are illegal to use in Thailand as their purpose is to hide visiting IPs, and this is the effect, side effect?, of the law that is directed "towards criminals"l! Typical government bs, "we are protecting children, women whatnot" and passing bills that effectively do much more than that, using those "fluffy" reasons as pure excuses and cover ups... :?: This is their excuse: "The government pushed the new law by saying it hopes the bill will provide an effective legal tool to fight cyber crime, including theft of data and chatroom contacts that lead to rape. " BUT discussing about proxies IS NOT illegal? :?: ie. giving out information HOW to circumvent the systems (note: I have been to thaivisa forum once or twice, they seem to have sticky note about long time ago that "discussing about proxies is not allowed", that has been there long before this, anyone know why?...) It also could mean providing now as much as possible journals and forum entries on circumventing Thai censorship is ok before the law eventually passes... "The IP is a unique address used to identify computer users while communicating with others on the network. However, the committee said, "ill-intentioned users" often hide or falsify their computer addresses so that they can easily carry out illegal acts and get away with them." :roll: Yes, now, all you who have accessed Youtube in Thailand through proxy server: BAD PPL, you are ill-intentioned users and criminals! All of you who regularly SURF internet with proxy, you are also soon all criminals too. hahahahaha "Penalties apply to all illegal acts using the internet, including those carried out abroad and deemed to "damage the country both directly and indirectly"." What on earth this is supposed to mean? Any Thai national doing "attack" against Thai politicians are held legally responsible in Thailand when he/she returns? Or, Thai national poses in porn pics in USA, she is damaging countrys reputation and held criminally responsilbe? (Similar to some countries helding their nationals responsible in their home country of pedofilic crimes done outside their own countries) http://www.bangkokpost.com/topstories/topstories.php?id=118646
