Thailand lifts YouTube ban
Wire reports said the Information and Communications Technology Minister Sitthichai Pookaiyaudom had instructed YouTube owner Google to install filters to stop Thais from accessing clips insulting the 79- year-old monarch.
Insulting royalty is a serious offence in Thailand. YouTube said in May it had decided, after an agreement with the Thai government, to block some offending clips but it took several months to implement it.
